The Blue House, is a pretty 4 bed cottage, in its own private garden of 2 acres. The house has been completely refurbished. It has fabulous sea views over the Western Solent with a woodland walk down to the beach. It has been featured in Coast magazine.
Located in the village of Gurnard on the Isle of Wight 'The Blue House' has four bedrooms overlooking the garden, a large contemporary living area with vaulted ceiling with a glass and oak gable looking directly over the sea, and a wrap around deck with fabulous views over to the New Forest and the famous sunset.
The bedrooms all feature luxurious beds with cotton sheets and all natural feather and goose down duvets and pillows, the master bedroom has a big en suite bathroom with a walk in shower and glass doors that open on to the deck and the romantic sea view.
The 'big' room has a spacious kitchen and large sitting room with a log fire.
The house is completely private and totally secluded, yet within walking distance of a great pub and shops. Single level makes it ideal for people with limited mobility as well.
The garden by the house is laid to lawn, with sun loungers and a BBQ, there is a trampoline for children.
There is a lovely walk directly down to the beach (owned by the house) through the woods, or alternatively there is also a paved route.

About the area

Cowes

Located in Cowes, this holiday home is in a rural area and on the waterfront. Southampton Cruise Terminal and Portsmouth International Port are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those in the mood for shopping can visit Gunwharf Quays. Consider Wickham Estate for a night out or Isle of Wight Steam Railway if you're travelling with kids. Jet skiing and scuba diving offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking and horse riding nearby.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Thompson

Host profile image
The Blue House is also my family holiday house, which we use a lot. When not on holiday I'm an organic beef farmer near oxford, Im also a sailor and Cowes is the Mecca for sailors on the south coast.

Why they chose this property

Gurnard is a small village just to the west of Cowes. many famous sailors and people in the marine industry live here full time. It has a great community and being right on the beach means everyone is often to be seen socialising or sailing off the beach.

What makes this property unique

The house has a totally unique position in the village. It’s set back off the road by some way, and being set apart gives it complete privacy. Yet still retains the convenience of village life .The garden is huge and is a perfect space for children and dogs. It goes all the way down to the beach which is pretty unique in the UK.
