We moved here some 24 years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed our home but feel it is now time to downsize. In 2002 we created the extension which we are very proud of and it provided additional living accommodation for an elderly family member.
We love Shorwell village as it has a very friendly community atmosphere and we are just opposite the 300 year old Grade II Listed pub, with a pond full of brown trout and near the twelfth century church, as well nearby bus stops. Northcourt Manor in the village is the largest manor house on the island and was built in 1615 and every year holds a summer fair in the grounds. The Wolverton Blues Festival is a short walk away, and the Parish Hall hosts many community events. The Recreataion ground is close by, with play facilities for little ones. Shorwell is also home to the oldest netball and Sunday football clubs on the island. There are also wonderful places to go for walks and five minutes away there are views from the hills where we can see great views of the sea. A few minutes drive away lies Brighstone village with shops, a doctor's surgery, primary school and a nursery.
It is only about five miles to Newport which is the county town of the Isle of Wight and includes a variety of high street stores and independent shops as well as wide selection of restaurants and bars. There is a weekly Isle of Wight Farmers Market and a number of primary and secondary schools within the vicinity.
