One of the Isle of Wight's most exceptional properties, Culver Down Manor is an elegant art-deco mansion overlooking Sandown Bay from a prime clifftop setting. Built in the 1920's, this building maintains glorious original features, including huge shimmering garden water features, statues and stain glass windows that frame the striking coastal vistas reaching out to Culver Cliff.

As you step into the reception area you are instantly transported back in time, from the piano and ornamental period lampshades to the wooden panelling and even the old boot cleaner. The large entrance hall with grand staircase and beautiful stained glass windows is sure to impress guests upon entering the property. The living space offers an abundance of floor space, the magnificent 22 seater dining table and the grand lounge area are the perfect spaces for the whole group to gather and discuss the highlights of the day.

Culver Down Manor can comfortably accommodate up to fourteen guests and five additional children across its six beautifully appointed bedrooms. On the ground floor is the first of the bedrooms, an accessible room, it is ideal for any guests who struggle with mobility and features two twin single beds and a fully-accessible en-suite wet room. Upstairs are the remaining bedrooms, three king rooms, a cosy double and a family room with a king-size double and two single beds. For those in larger groups, the Morning Room can be set up as a seventh bedroom and features two single daybeds, ideally suited to older children.

Outside, the home is set within 3/4 of an acre of gardens and backs onto the coastal path with excellent sea views. The largest part of the garden is set behind the house and features a spectacular pond which dates back to the 1930's. The terrace comes complete with dining facilities and makes the perfect place to enjoy a spot of al fresco dining after an action-packed day spent exploring the Isle of Wight.

Oliver approved stamp

What Oliver loves...

  • Grand detached art-deco house with decadently proportioned rooms
  • Cliff top location with spectacular uninterrupted sea views across the bay and wonderful gardens
  • Opportunity to step back in time and enjoy a stay in a completely unique home
  • Culver Down Manor is Mobility Graded 1 and 2, with a step-free accessible bedroom and bathroom located on the ground floor. Please enquire for full details.

What you should know

  • Due to the age of the house, the bedrooms do not all have en-suite bathrooms however there are more than enough family bathrooms
  • The many beautiful ponds and water features mean that small children should not be left to explore unsupervised
  • It's about 70 steps to walk down the cliff to the beach (or a 600m walk down the cliff path)
