About this property

Spacious Period Home With Private Walled Courtyard

Our apartment is very large, with six beds, but it also has a sofa bedding in the living room so you can sleep eight very comfortably. A single dedicated parking space directly next to the private courtyard and entrance. Plenty of additional parking nearby on our quiet road. Pets welcome.

The house has had notable owners and visitors over the past 170 years. Queen Victoria is rumoured to have stayed there, and in 1879 Cornelius Nicholson, a “self-made man”, owned the property. Cornelius was the managing director of the East Indian Railway and was friends with Charles Dickens, Wordsworth and Count Strogonoff. His daughter wrote a book called “A life well-spent” beautifully written the book which recites attention-grabbing anecdotes of Cornelius’s life. We are offering the ground floor of this period home.

Holiday meets history
A Beautiful historical homely apartment in a charming area. We enjoyed walks to the shore; explored steep stairways and paths. Short car journey to many of the island's attractions. Hosts very friendly and generous with facilities provided.

Large period home
This property was very large with lovely period features such as large windows with shutters and high ceilings. It does not feel like a typical basement flat! The property has been updated recently and there was no smell of damp throughout the week. As it is August we had no need to use any of the electric heaters or heating system in the house. The outdoor space was ample in size, we had no need to use the table due to persistent rain this week! The children enjoyed the range of toys and games although we spent each day out and about exploring the island. The parking wasn’t the easiest for a large vehicle but with practice my husband mastered the technique of reversing down a steep and narrow driveway. We made good use of the washing machine and dryer which was a great asset to this property as was the large fridge freezer which was much bigger than a typical holiday rental. The bathrooms were well fitted but required the doors left open all day/night to fully clear steam. The en-suite bathroom was really only used during the night by my son as that area is under the stairs and very dark. Overall we enjoyed our holiday and would recommend the property to future guests.

Not quite what we expected
Beautiful period property however in need of updating as a lot of fitted furniture is falling apart and the en-suite not fit for purpose and an unhealthy environment due to the high degree of mould emulating from the en-suite into the main bedroom anyone suffering from respiratory conditions could potentially get really sick. A fair walk to the beachfront which is quite pleasent but not suited for people with walking ailments due to the steep inclines and number of stairs. The courtyard is quite small and not very well maintained. As a note the owners went to long lengths to list all items and a price for each to replace but did not mention all the door handles falling off, windows that could not close, Kitchen cupboard doors and drawers that may at any moment fall apart not due to the renters fault.
