Woolverton Road, St. Lawrence

Welcome to Craigie Lodge Gardens
Occupying an exceptional coastal plot of just over 1.3 acres, Craigie Lodge Gardens is a substantial detached home, originally constructed in the 1960s and thoughtfully updated throughout by the current owners during their 10-year ownership. The property offers wonderfully generous room sizes, a light and neutral interior scheme, and a layout designed to draw the eye towards the garden and sea beyond. Large windows, glazed doors and a superb sunroom make the most of the southerly aspect, while the accommodation includes three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, an expansive sitting room, a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, practical utility and storage areas, a garden store, and an impressive detached double garage.
Craigie Lodge Gardens enjoys a remarkable position in St. Lawrence, one of the Island’s most attractive coastal areas, tucked beneath the Undercliff and surrounded by dramatic scenery, mature greenery and unspoilt coastline. The property is within easy reach of Woody Bay, Binnel Bay and the local village store and post office, with an abundance of nearby footpaths and coastal walks leading towards Steephill Cove, Ventnor and beyond. Ventnor Botanical Gardens, renowned for its subtropical planting and unique microclimate, is also close by, while Ventnor itself offers a beach, Victorian promenade, independent shops, restaurants, cafés and everyday amenities. Newport, the Island’s county town, is approximately 10 miles away, and mainland ferry links from Yarmouth, Fishbourne and East Cowes are all within convenient driving distance.
Originally we understand that the large plot (1.3 acres) formed the gardens of Craigie Lodge house situated on the corner of Undercliff Drive and Old Park Road. it was envisaged in the early 60s that this plot could support two dwellings, however only one property was constructed - namely Craigie Lodge Gardens. When the property first came on the market in 2016, the owners (a charity), included in the sale contract an overage clause for a period of 25 years, to apply only if any of the land was granted planning permission for an additional residential unit intended for separate occupation and ownership. A copy of the overage agreement is available on request.
