More about Westside Farmhouse

This superb period country house is peacefully located along a quiet country lane next to a farm, and stands gracefully within its own lawned gardens. Surrounded by countryside, distant views of St Catherine’s Oratory and the sea can be viewed from the upper level bedrooms, and many scenic walks can be enjoyed in this delightful area. The charming parish of Chale lies at the foot of St Catherine’s Hill, and has a general store, a 14th-century church and a renowned pub/restaurant, about a mile distant, with the sea slightly further. This welcoming detached holiday retreat has been lovingly refurbished, boasting many features such as flagstone floors, window shutters, beams and wood-burning stoves. With families in mind, there is a family room in addition to the main living room, and a spacious dining hall as well as separate dining/breakfast room, which leads to a conservatory. The large lawned garden has a play area for the children. This is an ideal holiday base to explore the area with its fantastic scenic walking and footpaths can also be followed to join the coastal path leading to breathtaking routes across miles of Heritage Coastline. There are secluded sandy bays within 10 minutes drive and sailing, fishing, golf, cycling, swimming and watersports can be found locally. Nearby is Blackgang Chine, the UK’s first theme park which dates back to 1843, and on the west side of the island there is another theme park at The Needles, where the rock formations can be seen. The popular Victorian sandy seaside resort of Ventnor is about 15 minutes’ drive, with its pubs, shops and restaurants and promenade/pier where fresh crab and lobster or catch of the day can be purchased. There is plenty to do on this lovely island, including many NT homes and gardens, such as Ventnor Botanical Gardens, Carisbrooke Castle, Osbourne House, the Pearl Centre and Calbourne Water Mill which has 17th century water and stone mills.
