Reference: 020718

This fine and historic home, an early 17th century ‘Jacobean’ stone built country house, of vernacular character is uniquely positioned on the hillside between St Helens, Nunwell, and Bembridge. Writleston Manor House enjoys incredible views encompassing the surrounding countryside, Culver Braiding Marshes, Culver Down, and Bembridge Harbour in the distance.

Having undergone extensive modernisation in recent years by award winning conservation building and interior design company COAST IOW (Ltd), the Listed- Grade II Writleston Manor House is now beautifully styled with bespoke décor, lighting and soft furnishings in every room, carefully blending authentic materials and original features with contemporary comforts. The spacious family home extends to six bedrooms and four bathrooms, including the self-contained guest accommodation – The Garden House.

Internally, the accommodation is refined, featuring flagstone floors, original fireplaces, inglenooks with flagstone hearths, stone lintels, timber windows set within distinctive stone mullions, and exposed beams. The current owners have enhanced the home with a stunning new yet classic style kitchen finished in pale pink, alongside parquet flooring and a selection of contemporary bathrooms. A fully updated heating system, electrics, and lighting scheme further complement the property.

The enchanting gardens wrap around the house, maximising the spectacular views. Landscaped and thoughtfully planted, the grounds provide privacy and visual interest throughout. A gated driveway sweeps between dry stone walls, imparting a sense of grandeur and space upon arrival. Additional parking is available via a garage and a two-bay carport, which also offers vehicle and garden machinery storage. The large loft space above the garage has potential for development into ancillary office space, a gym, or a studio.

Situated on the outskirts of the picturesque village of St Helens there are many local walks across the Downs or the protected RSPB marsh lands. The seaside village of Bembridge with its sandy beaches is a short drive away. Bembridge boasts incredible views across The Solent and English Channel and is surrounded by miles of down land perfect for countryside walks. Bembridge Harbour has extensive mooring facilities and two sailing clubs and creates a bustling atmosphere with fishing boats and pleasure craft. There are many country and coastal walks and the house has direct access to bridleways leading to beaches at St Helens and the idyllic Priory Bay.
