About this property
Charnwood Cottage
Located in the Historic town of Brading, one of the Islands oldest towns, this delightful holiday home can comfortably accommodate up to four guests.
Charnwood Cottages is comfortably furnished with all the home comforts you will need for your stay. On the ground floor you have a lounge, kitchen/dinner, bathroom, and utility area.
A steep Cottage Style Staircase from the kitchen leads up to the first floor where you’ll find two well decorated bedrooms, one a double and the other a twin room.
There is a small paved gated courtyard to the rear of the property and a small garden to the front. Parking is on the road and 2 well behaved dogs are welcome.
DISCLAIMER: (The stairs in this cottage to the first floor are particularly steep and not suited to those less able bodied)
THE ISLAND HOLIDAY COMPANY ARE ABLE TO OFFER DISCOUNTED FERRY TRAVEL TO THE ISLE OF WIGHT WHEN YOU BOOK YOUR HOLIDAY THROUGH US.
LOCATION:
Brading is one of the Isle of Wight’s oldest town located on the East side of the island, a short distance from the popular seaside towns of Ryde and Sandown.
The town many years ago formed a major port on the Isle of Wight, before the area was fully reclaimed in the late 19th Century, and there are still many signs of its previous history visible today.
Much of the interesting architecture through the heart of the town is original, with some beautiful cottages and buildings.
Many of the things to do in Brading are related to the town’s rich history and past. Explore the pretty Norman church of St Mary’s, to the rear of which stands the charming Old Town Hall.
In the grounds outside the new town hall there is an iron bullring that was historically used to secure a bull whilst it was rather gruesomely baited by dogs as part of a traditional celebration
.
On the outskirts of the town the Brading Roman Villa offers good insight into some of the many relics that have been found from the Roman period in the area, and the Villa site sits within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The restored railway station buildings and signal box at the Grade II listed Brading Railway Station are also well worth a visit, as their shop and tearoom also houses the Brading Tourist Information Point.
The Brading Downs provide some of the most spectacular views across the Isle of Wight looking out across Culver Down and Sandown Bay, there are many footpaths and bridleways across the Downs and the protected RSPB marsh lands making the area highly popular for walking, exploring and birdwatching.
