4 Bed Cottage in Godshill

About this property

Set in the picturesque village of Godshill, this beautifully designed contemporary home enjoys a unique setting on the site of the former railway line, with part of the original station platform still preserved within the garden. Sleeping eight guests, it's the perfect choice for families and friends looking to explore the Isle of Wight together. Surrounded by rolling countryside, the property offers direct access to nearby walking and cycling routes. Godshill's traditional pubs, tea rooms and independent shops are just 0.5 miles away. Spend the day at the sandy beach in Shanklin (4.5 miles), discover family fun at Blackgang Chine (7 miles), visit the historic Isle of Wight Steam Railway (8 miles), or explore Osborne House (11 miles), Queen Victoria's former island retreat.

As you arrive through the electric sliding gates, you'll immediately appreciate the generous outdoor space and peaceful surroundings. Step inside into a welcoming entrance hall with a handy cloakroom before making your way through to the heart of the home. The spacious open-plan kitchen/diner has been thoughtfully designed for spending time together, featuring a beautiful central island with breakfast seating, integrated appliances, a coffee machine, wine cooler and everything needed to prepare family meals. Gather around the generous dining table for leisurely breakfasts or celebratory evening meals, then throw open the doors onto the garden to make the most of warmer days. Next to the kitchen is a cosy snug, perfect for enjoying a quiet coffee or catching up with a good book. A separate lounge offers comfortable seating, a Smart TV and French doors opening onto the garden. Completing the ground floor is a dedicated children's playroom, providing younger guests with their own space to play and unwind, and a separate WC. Upstairs, four beautifully presented bedrooms offer peaceful accommodation after busy days exploring the island. The main super king-size bedroom enjoys lovely countryside views and benefits from its own en-suite shower room. Two further king-size bedrooms and a comfortable twin bedroom are served by a stylish family bathroom featuring both a bath and a separate shower.

Outside, the fully enclosed wrap-around garden provides plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. Enjoy a game of pétanque, challenge one another to table tennis or pool in the games garage, or simply relax in the peaceful enclosed garden after a day of adventure. Two seating and dining areas are perfectly positioned for al fresco meals or evening drinks. A private driveway provides parking for four cars and the detached double garage offers secure storage for bicycles and outdoor equipment alongside the fantastic games area.
