"Hadfield Cottage lies within the grounds of Winterborne House built in 1839 and is noted as a former residence of Charles Dickens, who rented the property in the summer of 1849. Adjacent to the owner’s home, where Charles Dickens wrote five chapters of his novel, ‘David Copperfield’. Dickens, considered to be one of the greatest English novelists of the Victorian period, enjoyed a wider popularity and fame than had any previous author during his lifetime and continues to remain popular, having been responsible for some of English literature’s most iconic novels and characters. 2024 is the 75th anniversary of his residence in Bonchurch.
Hadfield Cottage can comfortably accommodate up to six people, is dog-friendly and is ideal for extended families. The property’s unusual layout works fantastically with two of the property’s bedrooms and a shower room located on the ground floor. The cottage comes with off-road parking for two vehicles and has a courtyard garden to the front with a small patio area. The beautiful village of Bonchurch lies close to the seafront to the east of Ventnor. It is situated on the southeastern coast of the Isle of Wight, right in the heart of the famous Undercliff, much of which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Bonchurch is renowned for its literary connections; writers and poets such as the aforementioned Dickens, as well as Stackpole and Swinburne, who all resided here for a time during the village’s Victorian heyday in the 1840s. The cottage’s location is only a short walk to Bonchurch and Ventnor’s beaches and its fishermen’s cottages.
The cottage is a short walk to the coastal path, and beach and a scenic one-mile walk to the town of Ventnor with its pubs, restaurants and shops. Ventnor, a traditional Victorian seaside town, is only short a distance away with a great variety of local shops, restaurants and public houses serving locally caught fresh fish and locally brewed ales. Sheltered from the north by St Boniface Downs (owned by the National Trust), Ventnor benefits from its micro-climate, providing an ideal haven for a variety of flora and fauna.
Outdoor pursuits on the island include horse riding, fishing, cycling, paragliding, water sports and golf. There are numerous attractions for all ages across the island including The Needles, with its chairlift, amusement park, boat rides, lighthouse and coloured sands of Alum Bay. You can also visit Queen Victoria’s favourite holiday residence, Osborne House, and its gardens, as well as Blackgang Chine (the oldest themed attraction in the UK), Ventnor Botanical Gardens, Tapnell Farm Park, Carisbrooke Castle or the sailing towns of Yarmouth and Cowes. Beach 1 mile. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile."
