Box Cottage

Situated just under half a mile from the south-western coast on a quiet country lane, the cottage’s elevated position provides sensational south-westerly views over the surrounding countryside and across to the English Channel. There is access to the network of footpaths that lead through the surrounding countryside and to the dramatic coastal path giving access to beaches such as Whale Chine. The property is around a mile from the village of Chale with its pub and some 3 miles from Niton, with a village store, two public houses, village school, pharmacy, post office with a café bar and seasonal café at Castlehaven Bay.

Exuding period charm and character including flagstone flooring and exposed timber beams, the current owners have extended the cottage to create a superb new kitchen/dining room with large windows and double-glazed doors which make the most of the views and have also added an en-suite bathroom to the main bedroom. Various other refinements result in a comfortable, characterful home. Gardens extend to the rear of the property to approximately 0.35 acres and there is also a double garage/ workshop.
