Looking for a truly unique getaway? This beautiful, converted church offers an unforgettable Isle of Wight escape, blending historic charm with modern convenience. Perched in an elevated position, you'll enjoy panoramic countryside views, a glimpse of the sea, and expansive private grounds perfect for families and friends to make lasting memories.
Relax in the bubbling hot tub, let the kids play safely in the secure gated-area, and bring your four-legged friend along - because even your pooch deserves a holiday! With spacious interiors, characterful features, and a one-of-a-kind atmosphere, this striking property will help provide cherished moments for all.
The conversion has retained lots of original features including beautiful stained-glass windows, which flood the ground floor with natural light, carved stone arches and grand arched doorways.
The open plan living/dining-room is impressive and offers a generous amount of space with a traditional parquet floor and grand central dining-table, fit for a banquet. The seating-area is surrounded by beautiful stained-glass windows and has the added benefit of a wood-burning stove to give year-round warmth.
What better way to end a day out and about on the Island than to sink into the large relaxing sofa and enjoy a glass of wine. Or perhaps gather friends around the pulpit bar for evening aperitifs? A piano awaits should you feel like an evening singalong, the perfect place to gather all the family. The bespoke kitchen is very well-equipped for creating culinary delights and completes the social space on the ground floor.
Three of the bedrooms are also situated on the ground floor and the remaining three are on the first floor. You'll also find a convenient washroom downstairs and there is a lovely en suite wet-room accessed from the main bedroom and from the hall. Two of the generous bedrooms on the first floor have voluminous vaulted ceilings which only add to the character of the building. These have access to a shower-room and a family bathroom, so plenty to go round.
The large south-facing gardens at the rear of the property afford the most wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. Lay out a picnic blanket and enjoy a quintessential afternoon tea of sandwiches and cakes or take a seat in the other secure garden-area while Fido runs off some steam. There is an additional decked space in the lower section of the garden with tables and chairs where you can sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet with uninterrupted countryside views.
St Andrews makes it easy for extended family and friends to stay with a large private driveway with ample parking for up to six cars.
If a day at the seaside is on the itinerary, the beach is never far away on the Isle of Wight with both Colwell Bay and Totland Bay only a short drive away. Both bays have a restaurant to try, The Hut at Colwell Bay is a favourite, so booking ahead is advised.
Yarmouth, the nearest town, is close by and very conveniently situated for the ferry terminal. With a bustling harbour and an eclectic selection of shops, cafes and restaurants it is a great place to spend some holiday time. Yarmouth pier is the longest timber pier open to the public in England, the perfect place for a stroll, ice cream in hand, to watch the yachts on the Solent. The River Yar meets the sea here and there are some lovely walks along the riverside to the neighbouring town of Freshwater. It's the ideal place to spot wildlife.
Freshwater Bay is another idyllic bay, perfect for kayaking and swimming, just take a look at our live webcam overlooking the bay. A visit to the Island wouldn't be complete without a trip to see the iconic Needles, which is either a short drive away or perhaps a walk from Freshwater over Tennyson Downs. However you plan to spend your holiday time, St Andrews is certainly a holiday home with a difference and one where you are certain to make memories to last a lifetime.
