Accommodation

St Martin’s is a bright, sunny modern house, newly and extensively equipped with all comforts. Full gas central heating included.

Upstairs:-  it has four double bedrooms, two with adjoining shower rooms, and a large family bathroom.

The largest bedroom has pretty views over to Shanklin Down and St Martin’s Down. You can also watch cricket from this window. The house faces east/west so it seems sunny all day long.

A striking staircase descends to the spacious hall. Off this is a small room which we use as a children’s playroom.

The large living room:-  has a sitting area with Tv at one end and a substantial pine dining table seating eight and a high chair.

The kitchen:- is compact (ie. not big enough to eat in) well equipped with range cooker, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, washing machine, dryer, wok, saucepans, china, cutlery etc.

There is also a downstairs cloakroom.

Outside:-  is a small paved courtyard garden, surrounded by coloured shrubs, and also made interesting by the old garden wall remaining from the Manor. We have a seat in the arbour and there is a garden table and chairs and a barbeque. The garden is reasonably dog and child proof (whether you want to keep them in or out!).

There is further decking on the east side of the house — A good place for breakfast on those sunny mornings.

Garage:- There is a secure garage where you can store toys, golf clubs, and bicycles, but not the car, and which we have set up for dogs to sleep. There  is a coat rail to hang wet coats on if you have been on a wet hike and also another fridge with a freezer.

There is parking for up to three cars.

St Martin's is a non smoking house.

Around the area

The Mead is a recreation ground with children’s swings two minutes from the house through the woods, with the old church behind.

The church has a renowned display of rhododendrons in the spring in so many different colours.

The area has something to offer everyone whether it be  beaches, walking, fossils, scenic views, pretty villages and cottages, stately homes (oh Osborne), galleries, donkey sanctuary, wildlife, flowers, gardens (Ventnor Botanical Gardens), zoos (Flamingo Park), eight golf courses, tennis, swimming pools, skating, riding, sailing, squash at Sandown, bowls, cream teas, boat trips or coach trips.
