The property offers lots of features throughout and is provided with extensive gardens, paddocks and stables. The gated driveway into the home leads into an attractive courtyard area, where a double garage and ample off-road parking is granted to the occupants. The large entrance hall to the home is a welcoming area in which to greet guests, with an attractive staircase leading up to the first floor. The lounge is a beautiful light room and has an attractive central fireplace and views to both the front and rear of the property. The dining area is accessed from here and again gives a superb vantage point over the rear, more formal gardens, ensuring you may appreciate your location over a family Sunday lunch. The kitchen has been upgraded recently and offers attractive light coloured units and ample space for a dining table overlooking the rear paddocks. The current owner has fitted full length doors and windows providing ample natural light and an open outlook. In addition, you will find a well-equipped utility room for all the noisy appliances, with access out the to the rear garden. The first floor has three double bedrooms and a large family bathroom, as well as the master bedroom offering en-suite shower room. All of the first-floor rooms grant lovely views of the surrounding area and over the grounds. The land to the rear of the home is the area that has been mainly used as the private garden and has mature hedge borders and space for alfresco dining. The paddocks have gated access from the lane to the side of the home, with a gravelled driveway which leads to four stables, which have both water and electric running to them. The stables have been upgraded by the current owner with a large concrete raft and the land as been sectioned so it is ready to draw up with your horse box and get settled. The property’s location is within easy reach of the car ferry in Yarmouth and the main shopping town of Newport, giving easy access for its residents whilst also giving a real feeling of being out in the country and experiencing ‘the good life’.

  • Arts, Literary & History Trail
    Arts, Literary & History Trail - FRESHWATER - KS4 Alfred, Lord Tennyson Poet Laureate Resident at Farringford House, Freshwater Tennyson was born in Lincolnshire in 1809 and attended Trinity College, Cambridge in 1827 where he received The Chancellor’s Gold Medal (a prestigious award given for poetry) in 1829. His frst solo collection of poems were published soon after. Poetry wriritng was important to Victorians as there was no recorded music at this time. When Tennyson’s poem ‘Maud’ (written in 1854-55) became a frm favourite with British Society, Alfred Lord Tennyson was able to buy Farringford House (now a hotel), on the Isle of Wight, which he initially rented with his wife from 1853. In 1850, he was made Poet Laureate and he held this post for forty years. Heralded as one of the greatest poets in British History, he died, at the age of 83, in 1892. The monument which stands at the top of Tennyson Down (renamed in his honour) was erected after his death. Before your visit... 1. Look at a couple of poems by Tennyson e.g. Crossing the Bar and Break, Break, Break. There are online analysis notes for both poems. Do a comparison with a poem from the GCSE Syllabus. 2. Can you identify which phrases in Tennyson’s poems can be linked to the place he lived - e.g. the sea on a stormy day, the downs in summer? 3. Investigate the frustrations of being in the public eye. Compare Tennyson with JK Rowling, both driven to move house as a result of media attention.

Build a timeline of Tennyson’s life which includes his works and major life events (you could use this as a basis to produce a biography of the poet). 3. Look at a couple of poems by Tennyson e.g. The Eagle, and Break, Break, Break. There are online analysis notes for both poems. 4.

THE last time that I saw Heinrich Heine was a few weeks before his death ; I had to write a short notice for the re-issue of his works. He lay on the bed where, accord- ing to the doctors, a slight indisposition first held him, but whence he had not been able to rise therefrom for eight years. One was always sure of finding him, as he himself used to say; yet, little by little, solitude encom- passed him more and more; hence his exclamation to Berlioz, on the occasion of an unexpected visit : "You " come to see me ! you are as original as ever ! It was not that he was less loved or less admired, but life entices away with it the most faithful hearts, in spite of themselves: only a mother or a wife would never abandon so persistent a death-agony.

We were attending the launch of HEAP, an unfortunate acronym, which still makes me think of garden rubbish. However, when the letters are opened up we find The Isle of Wight Historic Environ- ment Action Plan, a title which encompasses the historic landscape of the Island, the environment in which we live today and the future which we are bound to protect. It extends the work already being un- dertaken by the Island Biodiversity Action Plan, a little known but invaluable structure, which has al- ready been at work for ten years. This body brings together the diverse groups, national and local, whose concern is with the habitats and species which are part of our living landscape. The HEAP will do much the same at a local level for the landscape of the Island, the villages, towns, standing monuments which take us from the Stone Age to the present day and, most importantly, the agricultural landscape which is particularly vulnerable to intrusion and sometimes alarming change.

  • Roman Isle of Wight
    ROMAN WIGHT By Malcolm Lyne September 2006 1. A history of previous research Most of the early antiquarian research into Roman Wight, as in other parts of Britain, related to the excavation of villa houses. The earliest such excavation was that at Rock,Brighstone in 1831 (Kell 1856), followed by those at Carisbrooke (Spickernell 1859), Gurnard (Kell 1866) and Brading during the 1880s (Price and Price 1881 and 1900). Other villa sites were noted at Combley and Clatterford during the same period (Kell 1856). The published accounts of most of these excavations are somewhat deficient but, in the case of Gurnard, are supplemented by unpublished manuscript notes of further excavations carried out after publication of the earlier work in 1866. Just a few of the artefacts found at Carisbrooke and Gurnard still survive. The one exception to this sorry tale is Brading: the published accounts of the excavations carried out by Captain Thorp and the Price brothers is more informative than most for this period and most of the pottery and other finds are still extant. Other 19 th c. observations on the Island’s Roman archaeology are largely restricted to brief accounts of coin hoards from Farringford, Wroxall and Cliff Copse, Shanklin written up by Kell (1863). A further hoard found at Wootton in 1833 had to wait for more than 100 years before a reasonably-detailed account was produced (Sydenham 1943). The early years of the 20 th century saw little improvement in the quality of atchaeological activity relating to Roman Wight. Poorly-recorded excavations at Combley villa in 1910 (Sydenham 1945, 426-29) were, however, soon followed by the activities of Ambrose Sherwin as curator of Carisbrooke Castle museum during the 1920s and 30s.
