Outside, the property adjoins a very quiet lane used mainly for access. It enjoys a pleasant fully enclosed garden completely safe for dogs and large enough to allow them to run off some energy.

There is ample car parking for one car and a second can be accommodated if necessary. On the ground floor there is a large living/dining room with a comfortable sofa and armchair for those TV evenings. Extra seating for guests is provided by a high back bean bag. The living/dining room has a wooden floor which adds to the cottage feel. At one end there is a wood burner which is always laid and ready to light prior to you arrival and at the other there is a dining table that sits four guests. On the first floor the cottage provides two double bedrooms which can be converted into singles on request. Both the bedrooms overlook fields often full of farm animals or wildlife, especially birds.

To the south is a fine walk to the local peaceful beach known as Elmsworth and characterised by driftwood of all shapes and sizes. To the east you will reach Parkhurst Forest, the largest forest on the island with a network of hiking paths. To the north you will reach the Downs in the island’s middle where, in some places, you can see the entire island coastline and make out its shape! All these places are an easy walk for the energetic along quiet roads or public footpaths.
