Here are a few of the
Holiday Cottages we list in
The Isle of Wight:
|

Offering spectacular
sea views over Sandown Bay towards Culver
Cliff, this magnificent villa was built in
1929, as a gentlemen’s residence. Noted
local architect, Ernest Smith, was
commissioned to take full advantage of the
cliff-top location and exceptionally sunny
climate to produce one of the Isle of
Wight’s premium properties. He designed a
grand detached house with decadently
proportioned rooms; all main living and
bedrooms have large windows topped by
stained glass detail, framing the vistas.
Art Deco influences include an upstairs sun
room with huge sliding picture windows to
enjoy the breathtaking sunrises and scenery
by day and bay illuminations by night. Huge
stained glass windows bring out the
oak-panelled hallway, magnificent staircase
and galleried landing. Built for
entertaining, the house has an impressive
triple aspect drawing room and large
oak-panelled dining-room with doors into the
sun room and garden for al-fresco dining.
The architecture, proportions and landscaped
gardens with palms over the sea are
reminiscent of an elegant Mediterranean
villa. Close to The Isle of Wight
