The chapel was designed by the British Architect William Wilmer Pocock, who’s portfolio includes numerous Wesleyan chapels throughout the south of England.
Having been lovingly restored, the chapel is now divided into two houses. After parking at the front of the building you enter the holiday home via a metal side gate and down a short, gravel path. A vibrant red front door welcomes you into the main reception area. This generous space benefits from the full height of the building, whilst the light filters through the chapel windows, highlighting the tasteful furnishings which have been carefully curated by the current owners. The vaulted ceilings, beautiful leaded windows, carved stonework and original beams remain, link the historical past to what is now a truly unique place to stay.
This elegant holiday home is dog friendly and can comfortably accommodate up to four guests. Upstairs there are two good size bedrooms, both offering a glimpse of the sea and sumptuous king size beds; sharing a family bathroom. The ground floor comprises of a large open plan living space, encompassing a dining area which can seat up to six guests. Adjacent to this is plenty of seating for after dinner coffee or curling up to watch a favourite film. French doors divide the living space from the kitchen which is found at the rear of the property. Fully equipped to enable any aspiring chef to produce a delicious three course meal, or just a simple breakfast for those lazy holiday mornings. The bi-fold doors from the kitchen open on to a tidy garden, which includes a table and chairs, perfect for al fresco dinning on summer evenings or indulging in a hot toddy, when the nights start to draw in.

LOCATION:
There are plenty of attractions to keep all ages entertained long Sandown seafront. The Pier and glorious Sandown Bay are just a short walk down-hill from the property. Voted one of the island’s best beaches, so why not stretch your legs along the miles of golden sand or swim in the cooling water of the English Channel. The nine mile stretch between Yaverland and Shanklin, with Sandown nestled in the middle, demonstrates the wonders of geology, with red sandstone through to the white chalk of Culver Cliff. On a lucky day, the remains of fossils can also be found! If you crave an active holiday, the bay is hugely popular with water sports and you’ll be sure to see people paddle boarding, surfing, windsurfing and kite surfing or catamaran and dingy sailing; weather dependent.
A short walk towards Yaverland, you will also find the Wild Heart Animal Sanctuary, famous for its big cats. The sanctuary, formerly the Isle of Wight Zoo, gained further recognition due to the owners relationship with the naturalist and TV presenter Chris Packman. Additionally, a perfect distraction for the younger guests is Sandham Gardens, which is only minutes’ walk from the esplanade. With karting, sky nets, crazy golf and a dedicated play area on offer there should be plenty to ensure a good night’s sleep at the end of the day!
