A truly impressive coastal country house within 26 acres of magnificent grounds, delivering commanding long range Solent views across to the New Forest National Park shoreline – in an enviable position between Newtown Creek and Yarmouth.

It is located in a beautiful coastal area amongst mature woodland and majestic oak trees, it is designated as Isle of Wight National Landscape - iwnl (formally Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty).
