MOONS HILL • ISLE OF WIGHT

Moons Hill House is an elegant Victorian country home refurbished to

an exceptional, award-winning level set in 8½ acres of tranquil gardens

and pasture. The elevated position offers outstanding views. The

extensive gardens, landscaped by internationally-renowned garden

designer John Brookes, provide beautiful surroundings and privacy.

The house is approached along a newly laid drive with turning and

parking space by the main house and double garage.

The entrance hall creates a marvellous welcome with its double height ceiling,

elegant curved staircase and roof lantern.

The morning room has views east over the lily pond towards Farringford -

the home of Alfred Lord Tennyson, poet Laureate to Queen Victoria - and south

over the lawns, mature rose beds and shrub borders. Across the hall the south

windows in the drawing room have garden views towards the all-weather tennis

court while the westerly bay window attracts the afternoon sunshine.

Morning Room

Drawing Room

The kitchen/breakfast room opens onto the large terrace providing a

contemporary indoor-outdoor entertaining space with sunny garden views to the

west. Off the kitchen are a dining room and a well-appointed Neville Johnson

fitted study. Beneath the study is the wine cellar - a “Spiral Cellar” with capacity

for over 1,000 bottles.

There is underfloor heating throughout the downstairs and in the master suite

bathrooms. Period style radiators heat the upstairs. The lighting is designed by John

Cullen of London. A “Lutron Homeworks” computerised home automation system

controls the lighting, curtains, blinds, central TV/music system and ceiling speakers.

There is computer network CAT6 cabling and WiFi.

A

Master Bedroom

Guest Bedroom

Upstairs the outstanding master suite contains the bedroom, dressing room with

fitted wardrobes and separate “His” and “Hers” bathrooms. Both bathrooms

are luxuriously appointed with marble-lined showers, separate baths, bidets and

mirrored wash basin areas offering comfort, privacy and convenience for the owners.

Two further bedroom suites, each with stylish modern bathrooms, provide equal

comfort and privacy for family or guests.

Part of the house was originally the 19th century coach house that now

has three of the bedrooms and two bathrooms. With its own kitchen/

breakfast room, conservatory and patio it can be used as part of the

main accommodation or as a self-contained annexe.

The newly-built capacious double garage has two automatic doors.

It provides secure and clean storage for cars and has been built with a

Welsh slate tiled roof and red ridge tiles to blend exactly with the original

buildings. The double-hipped roof is topped with a cupola clock tower.

Beyond the garage is a block of four stables. The present owners use

them for garden workshop facilities and storage but the stable doors

have been retained so that horses could once more be accommodated

if required. There is a gardeners’ kitchenette and a toilet.

A large barn is currently used to house garden equipment and offers

potential storage for items such as a boat/trailer. Another garden

shed houses the irrigation tank, pump and programmer. These supply

the automatic sprinkler system that waters the vegetable garden,

lawns and terrace.

The back garden faces just south of west and attracts the sunshine from midday

until sunset. The south aspect has mature wisteria on the wall and a lawn

surrounded by roses, shrubs and flowers.

South Garden

The all-weather tennis court is attractively surrounded by mature planting and shrubs

along the south edge of the main garden. Behind the court is a wild flower garden

- at its best in the months of May, June and July. To the north and west of the main

terrace is a vegetable and cut-flower garden, superbly created with “Breedon” gravel

paths between raised beds that are planted with a variety of vegetables and flowers.
