Spring Cottage
The sought-after coastal village of Bonchurch gained its popularity in the Victorian era when the area's appealing microclimate combined with the dramatic southerly coastline led there to be many fine houses and villas built with many renowned writers of the era such as Dickens and Swinburne frequenting the area. Charles Dickens wrote part of David Copperfield whilst staying in the adjoining Winterbourne. The picturesque village retains a pub and the 11th Century church is next door to Spring Cottage and footpaths provide access to various bays including Monks Bay and excellent coastal walks. The adjoining town of Ventnor has a series of beachfront bars and restaurants, a fish market, a well-regarded 'free' school, a popular tennis club and the renowned Botanic Gardens.
Spring Cottage has well-presented accommodation with the main rooms facing south enjoying delightful views over the garden with distant sea views. It has a secluded and private setting with off street parking and a useful store to the rear. The gardens include a terrace and balcony both taking advantage of the views.
