Seller Insight amenities.
Just minutes from the beach and a short drive to nearby Ventnor, The Cottage blends perfectly the need for outdoor space, alongside being close to
The nearby Monks Bay, Bonchurch is situated on the southeast coast. The area is thought to be where French monks from Lyra Abbey landed from Normandy. A must visit for sure! The area oozes history, and Bonchurch was the haunt of many famous faces in the 19th century, including Charles Dickens who wrote part of David Copperfield whilst in the area. Ventnor is one of the Isle of Wight’s star attractions, as it’s one of the most popular seaside resorts on the island, boasting its own unique ‘micro-climate’. But aside from popular beaches and the harbour, the local fishing community of Ventnor ensures some of the UK’s best seafood – the local crab is a must. The award-winning Victorian Ventnor Park is also worth visiting, as this leads onto the Ventnor Botanic Garden at the Undercliff. And not forgetting Steephill Cove, said to be the most relaxing beach on the island, which is only 15 minutes away. With a range of popular walking, cycling and running routes, the lovers of the great outdoors will appreciate the rugged beauty of the area – for those that like to ‘do’, Bonchurch and the wider area of the Isle of Wight more than delivers.*
