Property information

The Lookout offers a charming retreat - a meticulously restored 19th-century outbuilding nestled in the picturesque rural landscape of West Wight. Dating back to 1859, this building originally served as a coastguard 'lookout' for smuggling activities. Restored and converted, it now stands as a fully equipped and thoughtfully designed compact cottage, providing an idyllic escape for weekend getaways or extended stays. A cozy compact cottage (tiny home!) - full bathroom, kitchenette and living room, with 24/7 hot water and underfloor heating. Recommended for two people, but can sleep up to four people if you want to squeeze. For sleeping either a deluxe double sofa bed is available in the living room or two ladder access single bunks above the kitchen (please see photos as these bunks are up high!). More details of the three rooms: 1) Main Room: Kitchenette - sink/stove/fridge/counter/toaster/kettle/table for two Bunks - two single bunks high above, accessed by ladder, great for kids! 2) Bathroom: Spacious bathroom with toilet/sink/shower 3) Living room: Deluxe double sofa bed or sofa with open fireplace
