Hillgrove Cottage
Hillgrove Cottage is a ’country meets coastal style’ holiday home perfectly located on the Green in St Helens on the Isle of Wight, just 5 minutes from the beach. The property, which was built in the late 17th century, has been renovated and restored to an excellent standard and has four spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, a spacious kitchen, dining area and a living room.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas range cooker, an integrated dishwasher, double butler sinks, a boiling hot water tap and a large island worktop with two bar stools. Next to the kitchen you will find a handy utility/boot room which has an additional sink, plus a wet room adjoining this.
The spacious dining area is bright and spacious with lots of windows overlooking the garden and the local village green. Within this room there is also a 4-seater corner sofa providing the perfect space to relax with a good book and a glass of wine.
The living room has a Smart TV, radio, Bluetooth speaker, a 3-seater sofa and an armchair. Next door is the only bedroom on the ground floor which has a standard double bed.
Upstairs is the master bedroom which has a kingsize bed, sea view an en-suite bathroom and 32" Freeview TV. The third bedroom has a set of zip and link beds that can either be set up as a super kingsize bed or twin beds, whilst the fourth bedroom has twin beds.
The large wrap-around garden has two sets of table and chairs, two sun loungers and home-grown apple trees, fruit, vegetables and flowers.
St Helens sits across the harbour from Bembridge on the Isle of Wight. Although fairly small, in the summer the village is a picturesque place to sit outside one of the lovely restaurants to enjoy dinner and a glass of wine whilst watching local cricket take place on the vast village green. The restaurants are open year-round, but this place really comes to life in the warmer weather. There is also a children’s playground, village shop, post office and a wonderful secondhand bookstore.
Down a small street on the outskirts of the village, you’ll find a wonderful shingle and sand beach overlooked by a church half painted white. This curious church is known as St Helens Old Church at Common, and its white paint marks it out as a shipping landmark used for centuries. Around the beach there are plenty of rockpools to explore and dogs are welcome to join in the fun all year round. This area is protected by the National Trust so expect picturesque, rugged seaside beauty.
St Helens is south of Seaview and Nettlestone, so the village is an ideal spot to explore the northeast of the island and even venture further afield to Cowes and Newport. As you’re on the east side of the island, head further south to enjoy the golden sands of Shanklin, Ventnor and Sandown.
