HISTORY Little Sullens Farm is a unique and attractive property benefitting from an elevated yet secluded position. Accessed off Burnt House Lane, Little Sullens is situated away from the hustle and bustle of Newport Town Centre whilst only being a short drive away.

The house is set over three storeys, built into the hillside of Arreton Downs. As a result of the unique layout, three of the bedrooms have doors that open onto the garden and the ample living spaces make the property perfect for hosting. 

SITUATION Little Sullens Farm is situated in a secluded and elevated position on the outskirts of Newport, providing stunning views across the surrounding countryside in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The property is accessed off Burnt House Lane, via its own private drive.

The Isle of Wight is celebrated as an international yachting and sailing venue, with the annual Cowes Week Regatta in August attracting competitors from all over the world. A full range of yacht and sailing clubs provide a social hub. There are nearby golf courses including Westridge, St Georges & Shanklin and Sandown Golf Club.

Ryde School with Upper Chine is the main independent (HMC) School on the Island, offering co-education from pre-school to sixth form on a daily, full or weekly boarding basis. Many Island children commute to mainland schools such as Portsmouth Grammar, St Edward's and Hordle Walhampton Prep and there are good feeder links to conveniently located public schools such as Winchester College and St Swithuns' in Winchester, Bryanston, Canford, and the Sherborne schools in Dorset and Marlborough College in Wiltshire.

The Island is blessed with a number of boutique hotels and restaurants, including The George in Yarmouth, The Royal in Ventnor; The
Hut (recently voted by GQ Magazine as the best experience 4 years running), North House and The Smoking Lobster.
