Wow! This spectacular converted church has the makings for the most amazing holiday, set in an elevated position with panoramic views across the surrounding countryside and a glimpse of the sea. The large lawned grounds are the perfect place for younger members of the family to play with the security of a separate gated area for dogs, and add to that a bubbling hot tub and you'll find the whole family will be happy!

The conversion has retained lots of original features including beautiful stained glass windows, which flood the ground floor with natural light, carved stone arches and grand arched doorways. There is a large private driveway with ample parking for up to six cars. This unique property is the ideal holiday destination for families or a group of friends at any time of year.

The huge open plan living/dining-room is quite spectacular with a lovingly restored parquet floor and grand central dining-table, fit for a banquet. The cosy soft seating area is surrounded by beautiful stained glass windows and has the added benefit of a wood-burning stove to give year-round warmth.

What better way to end a day out and about on the Island than to sink into the large relaxing sofa and enjoy a glass of wine. Or perhaps gather friends around the pulpit bar for evening aperitifs? A piano awaits should you feel like an evening singalong, the perfect place to gather all the family. The modern bespoke kitchen complements the opulent ground floor and is very well-equipped for creating culinary delights.

Three of the bedrooms are situated on the ground floor and the remaining three are on the first floor. The ground floor has a convenient washroom and there is also a lovely en suite wet-room which can be accessed from the main bedroom and also from the hall. Two of the bedrooms on the first floor are vast and have stunning vaulted ceilings which add to the character of the building. There is a shower-room and bathroom on the first floor so plenty to go round.

The large south-facing gardens are to the rear of the property and afford the most wonderful views over surrounding countryside. You can relax in the garden and enjoy seating in the secure dog area and there is also decking in the lower section of the garden with additional tables and chairs where you can sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet with uninterrupted countryside views.

There is also the added luxury of a sauna in the garden, the ideal place to escape to. The beach is never far away on the Isle of Wight and both Colwell Bay and Totland Bay are a short drive away. Both bays have a restaurant to try, The Hut at Colwell Bay is a favourite and booking is advised.

Yarmouth the nearest town is close by and very conveniently situated for the ferry terminal. With a bustling harbour, fabulous eclectic shops, cafes and restaurants it is a great place to spend some holiday time. Yarmouth pier is the longest timber pier open to the public in England, the perfect place for a stroll, ice cream in hand, to watch the yachts on the Solent. The River Yar meets the sea here and there are some lovely walks along the riverside to the neighbouring town of Freshwater. It’s the ideal place to spot wildlife.

Freshwater Bay is another idyllic bay, perfect for kayaking and swimming, just take a look at our live webcam overlooking the bay. A visit to the Island wouldn’t be complete without a trip to see the iconic Needles, either a short drive away or perhaps a walk from Freshwater over Tennyson Downs. However you plan to spend your holiday time, St Andrews is a place you will want to return to year after year.
