The Isle of Wight, situated off the South Coast of England, is becoming an ever-more popular location
for permanent and second homes. Made popular by Queen Victoria, who had her maritime residence at
Osborne, the Island is famous for sailing in the Solent; for Cowes Week; for its beautiful coastline
including sandy beaches and The Needles; spectacular countryside and long sunshine hours. Sainsburys,
Tesco, M&S, Waitrose, Lidl and Aldi all now have a presence as have many other national chains.
Communication and transport links are excellent; regular car ferries connect with the national motorway
network and fast catamarans have connections via Southampton and Portsmouth with direct trains to
London Waterloo which can be reached within 2 hours of leaving the Island shore. Government-funded
schools are numerous and independent schools (Ryde School and Priory School) thrive on the Island
with some children attending prep and public schools on the mainland. Leisure opportunities abound -
walking, riding, paragliding, hang-gliding, team sports, sailing, wind surfing and other water sports,
rugby, football (Newport Football Club) cricket and golf clubs. Good transport links enable day trips to
the shopping centres of West Quay, Southampton and Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth.
Shorwell is set on the southern slopes of rolling downland, within an Area of Outstanding Beauty
(AONB). There are excellent walks directly accessed from the property across the downs from which
there are stunning views over the Island's southern coast and the English Channel. The village has a Post
Office, shop, pub and Church all within easy walking distance. A wider range of facilities is available in
nearby Brighstone including village shops, doctors' surgery and primary school. Newport, with a wider
range of shops including Marks and Spencer is easily accessed from the village, as is the south coast of
the Island with some excellent beaches along the beautiful and unspoiled coast from Atherfield to Brook,
Compton and Freshwater Bay.
