'Cliffway' Totland, SEA VIEWS 5mins walk to beach

Cliffway is the best property of its type in the Totland area. Its prime location, close to the beach with lovely sea views, own large private garden is ideal for people of all ages to explore/enjoy. Cliffway's peaceful location is ideal for a romantic stay, families, children, the retired and those who are less able, perfect for a three-generation holiday experience. The property is light & airy. Enjoy spectacular sunsets, a stroll along the beach/walkway, an early swim, cosy autumn NT walks. The space Cliffway is a single storey property with an open plan living kitchen/living area and timber flooring throughout. The living room has two double glazed doors that open 180 degrees & fasten, almost flat, against the outside wall to give easy access to the garden. The garden is enclosed by a white timber picket fence at the front & a combination of trees/hedge/fence & gates. Parking is at the rear of the property or in a lay-by opposite or on the road. The kitchen is well equipped with a dishwasher, fridge freezer, microwave, washing machine etc. Heating & hot water are provided by a combi boiler. The shower room includes a low low-profile shower (with a walled fixed shower seat) and a freestanding wash basin & toilet. The shower room has been designed specifically to provide space to allow easy movement but it has not been designed to comply specifically with any disabled requirements. Please call me to discuss any specific queries. There are two bedrooms, one with a king size & single bed, the other with two single beds. A fold up child's cot is provided. The covered walkway can be used to provide a safe place to store bicycles, surf boards etc & is a dry, sunny area to hang washing. The glazed front porch provides space to hang coats & to store wet shoes etc. Cliffway's unique character lies in its quiet peaceful location, large attractive garden, great beach access & lovely sea views which are ideal for all the family. The property aims to provide a simple uncluttered space with the comforts of home in all seasons. Cliffway provides the opportunity to relax & sunbath in the garden, to sit and gaze at the sea while watching the boats pass by or to enjoy a romantic evening supper, sitting in the garden, watching one of Totland's renowned spectacular sunsets. In bad weather, the full length double-glazed doors/windows allow you to enjoy watching the wind/waves and ever-changing sky and turbulent seas/sunsets from the warmth & comfort of the living room. The sound of 'Moaning Minnie' in the fog adds to the atmosphere. Great beach access makes it easy for all the family to enjoy swimming, exploring rock pools, making sandcastles, collecting shells or to try your hand at crabbing, etc before strolling back to Cliffway buckets and nets in hand for tea in the garden. An early morning/evening stroll along the sea front or Turf Walk (or swim) is a lovely way to start or end the day. Cliffway really offers the opportunity to 'dump' the car and relax. THE LOCAL AREA Totland has a wide sweeping Bay. The beach is sandy & relatively shallow for a good distance & ideal for younger children. The western end of the bay has plenty of rock pools to explore at low tide. The beach can be accessed by car. (There is a seafront walkway to Colwell Bay but this has recently been blocked by a landslide). Totland Bay is a Marine Conservation Society Recommended Beach (MCS Award) & is classified as Excellent by the Environment Agency. It also forms a part of the Needles Marine Protected Area. Totland has something to offer whatever the season. It is popular with the fisherman who often camp out over night at the far end of the bay & with local water sport enthusiasts who also use nearby Freshwater & Compton Bays. You can watch the Round the Island Yacht Race from Totland/Cliffway & in summer boats often moor in the bay for lunch at the Waterfront Restaurant. For the dinosaur enthusiast the IOW dinosaur fossils were discovered on the coast at nearby Compton Bay & Brighstone Bay. Cliffway provides an ideal base from which to explore West Wight & enjoy some of the UK's most spectacular & dramatic coastline. The Headon Warren Walk which starts on the Turf Walk was highlighted by the National Trust as one of the UK's 'Walks with a 'WOW Factor'. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), a lowland heath covered by a mix of heather/gorse. There are a range of breeding birds on the cliffs. Views of the Solent, the island and mainland are possible from the top of Headon Warren. These can be explored and enjoyed on foot, with a pram, with a wheelchair, as a cyclist or on the Island Coaster, the round the island, open top bus. BY FOOT: The IOW boasts a 68-mile-long coastal path that circles the island & connects to footpaths that cross the island. The Yarmouth to Freshwater Bay section runs west from Yarmouth, along the waterfront at Totland Bay (and can be joined from the Turf Walk), over Headon Warren to Alum Bay (coloured sands) towards the Needles Old Battery (past the old rocket station/museum),before heading southeast along Tennyson Down (past Tennyson's Monument) to Freshwater Bay where the path continues to Chale. A footpath also connects Freshwater to Yarmouth along the River Yar. The now disused railway line from Freshwater to Yarmouth provides a footpath/cycle path alongside the River Yar. This connects the End of the Line Cafe at Afton (Freshwater) with Off The Rails restaurant in Yarmouth (and Wight Cycle Hire base). DISABLED /PRAM ACCESS: Totland can be enjoyed by those who are less able to walk or who may rely on a wheelchair. The bay can be accessed by car with parking along the waterfront (including disabled bays). The waterfront walkway runs from Totland Bay to Colwell Bay &, I understand, provides an unusual opportunity for someone who uses a wheelchair to experience the sea, close at hand at high tide. Unfortunately the connection to Colwell Bay is currently blocked by a landslide (spring 2024). Compton Bay is a great place to park up, in all weathers, and watch the waves, enjoy a whippy ice cream from the van in the summer (or take a coffee and packed lunch) and to sit in the warm and watch the surfers, hang gliders fly around. BY BUS: The 'Island Coaster' provides around the island bus route which you can hop on & off as you wish. The 'Needles Breezer' offers a fun local ride. CYCLISTS: The island is popular with cyclists & it stages the Isle of Wight Randonnee. The Lonely Planet apparently described the route as the best place in the world to cycle. The route can be followed all year as key junctions are marked. The Freshwater/Yarmouth cycle path is nearby. LOCAL RESTAURANTS The Waterfront Restaurant/Bar is located on the Totland seafront. Totland Pier has just been renovated and is due to open The Bay Cafe and restaurant (date unknown). 'The Hut' is located on the seafront, at Colwell Bay & has a growing reputation for great seafood among other dishes. The restaurant has been used by James Martin as a part of his television programmes. Book in advance. Both are within easy walking distance of Cliffway or can be driven to if need be. Historic Yarmouth has a lovely selection of restaurants & old hostelries plus 'On the Rocks' a steak/fish restaurant, The George Hotel, & a new restaurant overlooking the ferry/marina. Nearby pubs include the well-known 'Highdown Inn' just below Tennysons Down & 'The Red Lion' at Freshwater. Cliffway & Totland Bay offer an ideal base for a restful holiday or weekend break away from it all, whatever the season, no matter the weather. It is an ideal place to enjoy the seaside air & an opportunity to blow away the cobwebs!
