Stockbridge Manor is a beautiful manor house dating back to 1560. It is situated in an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ on the outskirts of the rural village of Whitwell. This is a wonderful walking area with footpaths leading directly from the cottage into the beautiful countryside. The village centre with its public house is within 5 minutes walk. The sandy beaches of Shanklin and Ventor are within a 10 minute drive.
This exceptional property occupies the East Wing of Stockbridge Manor and is self contained. The cottage provides a perfect romantic hideaway. It has been furnished in a traditional style with the greatest care and attention to detail using lovely rich materials and some elegant pieces of antique furniture. This has produced a wonderfully extravagant country manor house style. Upstairs there are two beautiful bedrooms which are richly and elaborately furnished, the beds being draped with a marvellous combination of materials. The spacious master bedroom has an elegant antique half tester bed and an en-suite shower room with basin and W.C. The second bedroom has an antique four poster bed and an additional single bed is available. On the ground floor there is a pretty sitting room with a sofa and chairs, colour television/DVD; a pleasant dining area; a modern fitted kitchen equipped with attractive units, a large dresser, electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator and washer dryer; a bathroom with a ‘whirlpool’ bath and basin; a separate W.C. with basin. Pay telephone provided.
Heating and electricity are provided at no extra charge. There is a lovely large walled garden at the front of The East Wing with garden furniture and a barbecue. Two cars can be parked beside the cottage. Access to the cottage is along a traditional unmade lane. Smoking not permitted.
