Old School House
Previously part of the former Gatten and Lake Primary School, Old School House has been converted into a truly wonderful holiday home from home and is part of our More than Dog Friendly collection. The unique character of the original building has been preserved, whilst benefiting from a modern, sleek twist. The developers spent a considerable amount of time and effort focusing on the detail taking full advantage of the building’s grand dimensions and classic architecture.
The accommodation on the ground floor comprises of an open plan large modern kitchen/diner which benefits from a breakfast bar and a number of built in appliances, a living room with Smart TV and comfy sofas and there is a utiliy area and cloakroom. Upstairs on the first floor there are three bedrooms, two are spacious double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings both tastefully decorated with kingsize beds and fitted wardrobes, the third bedroom has bunk beds and there is a family bathroom with bath, shower and heated towel rail. Both front and rear gardens are enclosed.
Located only minutes away from the cliff path with direct access down to the beach, this charming, terraced holiday home makes an ideal base for small groups, or perhaps even two families, wanting to holiday together. The nearby golden, sandy beaches stretch for miles, and the esplanade is packed full of amusements and crazy golf, as well as several places to eat. Away from the beach, the main town offers a multitude of shops, cafés, bars and restaurants. The old village is renowned for its pretty thatched cottages, cosy tea rooms, pubs, restaurants and craft shops.
The seaside town of Shanklin is well served by public transport around the island with regular buses and the railway ‘Island Line’ to Ryde and Sandown. Outdoor pursuits on the island include horse riding, fishing, cycling, paragliding, golf and water sports. There are numerous attractions across the island to discover for all ages, such as The Needles, with its chairlift, amusement park, boat rides, lighthouse and coloured sands of Alum Bay. Blackgang Chine, Dinosaur Isle, the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, Ventnor Botanical Gardens, Tapnell Farm Park and Carisbrooke Castle are other attractions. Or why not pay a visit to Queen Victoria’s favourite holiday residence, Osborne House and its gardens? The sailing towns of Yarmouth and Cowes also make for a great day out. Whatever you decide, the Isle of Wight has plenty to offer.
