LOCATION
Situated on the outskirts of Freshwater, yet within a few hundred yards walk of the village centre facilities, the property sits adjacent to the picturesque Conservation Area of Pound Green and is easily accessible via a network of local footpaths to miles of downland and coastal walks from Tennyson Down through to High Down and The Needles in Alum Bay. Virtually opposite the property is a footpath that leads through to a protected public area of land known as Granny’s Mead, ideal for dog walking and relaxation. The beach in Freshwater Bay is within a mile together with Freshwater Bay Golf Course, Afton Nature Reserve, The Piano Cafe/Bistro and the recently refurbished Albion Hotel. In addition, Totland Bay and Colwell Bay both offer scenic beaches and a variety of facilities and eateries, making them popular destination. Yarmouth, with its ferry terminal providing easy access to the mainland, adds further appeal to the area for those seeking a coastal getaway with convenient transport links.
