The former lodge house to Brook Hill House is located on a wonderful tree lined driveway and is surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, much of which belongs to the National Trust. A network of footpaths give access from the property over the surrounding downland and coast providing some stunning landscapes. The unspoilt beaches of the Island’s South West coastline are within 5 minutes driving distance and there are local shops at nearby Brighstone, whilst Freshwater is 10 minutes by car , Newport 20 minutes and the car ferry from the pretty harbour town of Yarmouth is only 15 minutes away.

The lodge was built a little over 100 years ago in natural stone under a tiled roof. It is set in large partly wooded gardens, with lawns and a variety of ornamental shrubs. There is ample parking for several cars and solid fuel central heating.

The lodge is situated on the private drive leading to Brook Hill House which was built by Sir Charles Seeley and was home to J B Priestly from 1948.

The property currently has three bedrooms, but has the potential to be extended, subject to planning consent. Permission was obtained in the 1980’s for a two storey extension providing a further two bedrooms which would make a fine family house.
