We moved here about seven years ago because we fell in love with the olde worlde and friendly feel of the house. The views and surrounding countryside are delightful and we have enjoyed developing the garden and outbuildings. However, it is now time for us to downsize.The village of Calbourne is delightful with a very supportive community and the friendly Sun Inn pub. We live just opposite Westover House which was once owned by Colonel Mouton-Barrett – a relative of the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning. It has the Caul Baun stream running through it so we enjoy seeing the ducks and other wildlife and often have visiting ducklings in our garden. There is also a post office, a garage on the site of the old blacksmith' forge, the only working mill on the island and the 9th century church as well as the Westover cricket team for anyone who enjoys the sound of leather on willow. We are only a few miles from Newport, Yarmouth and Freshwater while nearby Brighstone has some charming individual shops and Shalfleet includes the Horse and Groom pub, an excellent village shop selling a range of local produce and a good primary school.Room sizes:
