Nestled in the heart of Whitwell, a charming and community-oriented village on the south of the Isle of Wight, Strathwell House is an architectural gem discreetly positioned within a secluded half-acre plot. Completed in August 2022, this stunning home was designed by acclaimed RIBA award-winning architect Lincoln Miles, known for his appearances on Channel 4’s Grand Designs. In collaboration with the current owners and local builder Richard Dowers, the property reflects a bespoke vision that blends contemporary open-plan living with a wonderful connection to the open fields that sit beyond the home.   From the moment you arrive, the property impresses with its understated cedar-clad exterior, which conceals approximately 3,000 sq. ft. of meticulously designed living space.

The attenuation pond adds a functional and ecological benefit in its design, located at the rear of the plot.     WHAT THE OWNER SAYS:   Strathwell House has enabled us to enjoy being in the heart of Whitwell village’s vibrant community whilst nestled in a quiet rural plot that affords far reaching views of the surrounding downs. It has been a great home that was designed to be sociable and in which to host and entertain our family and friends.   Our historic village pub The White Horse Inn, is a couple of minutes’ walk away and is popular with visitors and locals alike. It has been a great place to make new friends and to socialise.   The neighbouring village of Niton has all the facilities we need day to day and is but a two-minute drive from Whitwell or an easy 20-minute walk away. Ventnor is our nearest town and has some great restaurants and pubs offering a wide range of cuisines. The town also offers a variety of locally owned independent shops that we love to support.   The footpaths and bridleways that criss-cross the village enable us to access the nearby cliff paths and to walk up to the surrounding downland where we enjoy spectacular island wide views when walking our friendly dog. Being close to the island’s southern Jurassic coastline stretching from Sandown to Freshwater means that living in Whitwell we enjoy easy access to some fantastic beaches.   Living on an island that has a tourism focus means that we and our visitors have a host of exciting and interesting activities to enjoy.
