Nestled in the heart of Whitwell, a charming and community-oriented village on the south of the Isle of Wight, this property is an architectural gem discreetly positioned within a secluded half-acre plot. Completed in August 2022, this stunning home was designed by acclaimed RIBA award-winning architect Lincoln Miles, known for his appearances on Channel 4's Grand Designs. In collaboration with the current owners and local builder Richard Dowers, the property reflects a bespoke vision that blends contemporary open-plan living with a wonderful connection to the open fields that sit beyond the home. From the moment you arrive, the property impresses with its understated cedar-clad exterior, which conceals approximately 3,000 sq. Ft. Of meticulously designed living space. An electric gate opens onto a gravel driveway, offering ample parking and access to the detached double garage, complete with power, and an electric door. The thoughtful design fully embraces the plot's gently sloping topography, resulting in a unique layout that maximizes natural light and sweeping countryside views.
Inside, luxury and practicality unite in perfect harmony. The spacious open-plan living and dining area flows seamlessly into a high-specification kitchen featuring top-brand appliances, including Neff double ovens, a microwave, and a coffee machine. A built-in Airforce induction hob with an integrated rising extractor and high-end finishes ensures this kitchen is as functional as it is stylish. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room, with a large plant room and separate cloakroom. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors from the spacious dining area open onto a paved terrace, with a heated infinity pool at its center—a true highlight for entertaining or simply enjoying on peaceful summer days. The property offers three beautifully appointed bedroom suites, each with its own character and purpose. Two ground-floor guest bedrooms feature en-suite shower rooms and access to private courtyards, ensuring privacy and comfort for visitors. The principal suite, elevated at the rear of the home, includes a luxurious en-suite bathroom, a large dressing room, and a stunning wall of windows that create a floating-in-the-trees effect, making it the perfect retreat to unwind and take in the local wildlife.
What the Owner says:This property has enabled us to enjoy being in the heart of Whitwell village's vibrant community whilst nestled in a quiet rural plot that affords far reaching views of the surrounding downs. It has been a great home that was designed to be sociable and in which to host and entertain our family and friends.
Our historic village pub The White Horse Inn, is a couple of minutes' walk away and is popular with visitors and locals alike. It has been a great place to make new friends and to socialise.
The neighbouring village of Niton has all the facilities we need day to day and is but a two-minute drive from Whitwell or an easy 20-minute walk away. Ventnor is our nearest town and has some great restaurants and pubs offering a wide range of cuisines. The town also offers a variety of locally owned independent shops that we love to support.
The footpaths and bridleways that criss-cross the village enable us to access the nearby cliff paths and to walk up to the surrounding downland where we enjoy spectacular island wide views when walking our friendly dog. Being close to the island's southern Jurassic coastline stretching from Sandown to Freshwater means that living in Whitwell we enjoy easy access to some fantastic beaches.
Living on an island that has a tourism focus means that we and our visitors have a host of exciting and interesting activities to enjoy.Room sizes:Entrance HallKitchen / Dining Area: 23'6 x 20'10 (7.17m x 6.35m)Utility RoomCloakroomBoiler RoomLounge: 29'3 x 22'8 (8.92m x 6.91m)Bedroom 3: 13'0 x 12'5 (3.97m x 3.79m)En-Suite Shower RoomBedroom 2: 16'2 x 14'8 (4.93m x 4.47m)En-Suite Shower RoomGames Room / Living Room: 25'5 x 22'8 (7.75m x 6.91m)Shower RoomLandingBedroom 1: 15'3 x 11'10 (4.65m x 3.61m)En-Suite BathroomDressing Area: 14'5 x 13'3 (4.40m x 4.04m)GarageGated DrivewayTerraceGardenSwimming Pool
