Totland Bay House Isle of Wight, England
designed by Dow Jones Architects
- House
- 4 BR
- Sleeps 8
- from £ 2375 wk
Designed by award-winning Dow Jones Architects in London, this Isle of Wight holiday letting is the 2015 RIBA winner for “Best New Build 2015.”
Set within a private orchard and gardens and adjacent to protected woodland habitat, the house was commissioned by a writer and designer as a family retreat. Clad in black timber, the sharp modern lines and clean architectural forms were designed as a series of layered spaces that extend into and around the landscape creating generous living areas inside and out.
Surrounded with enormous picture windows and glazed walls that frame the landscape, the interiors are flooded with natural light. The ground floor features hand troweled concrete floors, Douglas fir accents and bespoke furnishings with a eclectic collection of decor and objets d’art. An attention to detail is evident throughout with a warm home away from home quality ideal for families.
The fully-equipped kitchen and dining area is designed for entertaining with seating for up to fourteen. Three of the bedrooms are situated upstairs with a fourth bedroom downstairs, each with enormous picture windows and panoramic woodland views. Double doors open out to the wrap around veranda leading out to the expansive property with an al fresco dining area and multiple lounge areas and a BBQ fire pit. There are play areas for both kids and adults with an in-ground trampoline, badminton and pro-ball tennis all within a private garden oasis.
Available only in the summer months, this holiday letting in England is worth the wait.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Wifi throughout, TV and stereo audio system. Optional daily housekeeping services with laundry facilities. Children’s toys, books and games for all ages. On site parking for four cars (2 in the parking bay and 2 in the private driveway).
AROUND
Long a popular holiday destination for mainlanders, the Isle of Wight has a fun, funky seaside kitsch to it that draws the outdoorsy types, families and festival goers with its unique charms. With miles of cliff side shoreline, dunes and woodlands, it’s a peaceful and picturesque island with pretty villages and dramatic natural beauty. Just minutes from Totland village, Colwell and Freshwater in West Wight, the area features numerous award winning pubs, cafes, farm and fishermens shops and some of the best beaches with nearby Tennyson Down providing endless woodland trails for walking, cycling and riding. The Isle of Wight Music Festival takes place in Newport’s Seaclose Park during the second week in June and although it’s not the “British Woodstock” of it’s heyday, it’s still a four day extravaganza of music, food and fun. Don’t miss Cowes Week (August 6-13) – the biggest global sailing race regatta. A mega draw for visitors and residents, it’s a stunning visual spectacle with thousands of boats sailing by on the Solent waters. The historic harbor town of Yarmouth and ferry terminal is just a few minutes drive.
