The lifestyle

Warden Point House sits at the end of a private, no-through coastal road, with the original wall of historic Fort Warden sheltering the property from the prevailing wind - a detail any sailor will recognise the value of. From the door, it's a few minutes' walk down to Colwell Bay, one of the most celebrated beaches in the UK, with its long stretch of sand, slipway, and access to water sports, perfect for an outdoor lifestyle, entertaining friends and family, or just relaxing in the glorious climate of the West Wight.
The sale includes the leasehold of a furnished beach hut on the esplanade at Colwell Bay, only a few metres from the famous ‘The Hut’ seafood restaurant, giving the opportunity for a ready-made base on the sand: Somewhere to store paddleboards, kayaks or simply deckchairs, without the long waiting list that normally comes with securing a hut at Colwell. The nearby Longbeach bar, Captains Café, and Waterfront restaurant ensure a wide range of dining and entertainment options.
The combination - a modern, low-maintenance house, a sheltered position, and a beach hut already in place - is ready to be lived in from day one, whether as a permanent home, a coastal retreat for weekends and holidays, or an investment property taking advantage of the destination status of Colwell Bay.
The property

An individually designed, light-filled contemporary house built in 2016, finished in anthracite-framed glazing, zinc rainwater goods and rendered elevations. Offered for chain-free sale.

Internally, generous glazing and a glazed lantern atrium over the first-floor landing bring natural light throughout. Light polished tiles run through the entrance lobby, reception hall and open-plan kitchen/dining room, with oak flooring to the sitting room and media/dining room. The kitchen is fitted with Neff integrated appliances and a substantial island incorporating an induction hob, retractable extractor, wine cooler and breakfast bar. The sitting room and kitchen/dining room both open onto the rear garden, as does the reception hall. The media room, currently used as a formal dining space, could equally serve as a cinema room, playroom or home office. A cloakroom and utility room complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, all five bedrooms are doubles; three have en suites, including a full bathroom with a separate walk-in shower to the principal bedroom, and a family bathroom serves the remaining two. Three of the bedrooms look towards Colwell Bay and the sea, and double doors from the landing lead onto a sheltered balcony.

Built to a recent specification, the house has triple glazing, an air source heat pump, underfloor heating to the ground floor and radiators to the first floor.
Outside

Outside, there is parking and a double garage to the front, and an enclosed rear garden with a paved terrace sheltered by the original Fort Warden wall, plus an outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach. A large garden store and smaller store for bicycles/BBQs are included.

Location

Colwell Bay is one of the best-known beaches on the Isle of Wight: A long sandy/gravel bay with beach huts on the esplanade to the southern end, a slipway and good conditions for swimming, paddleboarding and other water sports, with a coastal path round to Totland Bay and onwards to The Needles and Tennyson Down. The bay's restaurant, The Hut, has an international reputation for dining right on the sand. Freshwater village, around a mile away, covers everyday shops, services and supermarket, and the harbour town of Yarmouth, with its mainland car ferry, well-regarded sailing facilities and choice of pubs and restaurants, is around ten minutes by car, or a pleasant coastal walk, making this a practical base for anyone keeping a boat on the Solent.
