LIFE at a spacious cliff-top home in the West Wight is not just about taking in some of the Island’s most spectacular sea and coastal views but getting outside among the glorious scenery too.

Number 3 at St Martins, a prestigious apartment development on the hill ascending from Freshwater Bay, has big windows framing magnificent panoramic views out over the water, down to the pretty bay and to soaring Tennyson Down beyond.

All three double bedrooms and the airy open-plan sitting/dining room/ kitchen have a wonderful outlook.

Step out to the rear balcony around 35ft in length or onto a paved side terrace and you can hear the sound of the waves and take in the sea air.

Active types will like the fantastic location with the cliff edge coastal path bordering the extensive communal lawned gardens, the nearby walk up to Tennyson’s Monument, and the bay and a golf course within a short stroll.

There is no need to leave the building if other leisure pursuits appeal as down on the lower ground floor are superb communal facilities, including a heated swimming pool,spa, sauna, TV and games room and kitchen area.

Also on this level is a good-sized storage room for each apartment. Other features include a video entry system, a lift to each floor, a central vacuuming system for each home, underfloor heating and allocated plus guest parking.

Number 3 is on the ground floor and the oak flooring in its hall continues into the sitting/dining room/kitchen. Neutral carpet features in the bedrooms and neutral tiles in the stylish bathroom/ shower rooms and cloakroom with WC.

Making the sitting/dining room/ kitchen superbly light and providing glorious unobstructed sea, bay and downland views are rear and side windows and glazed doors, with full-length side panels, one of them opening to the long balcony and the other to the paved side terrace.

A side window above the sink in the kitchen frames a panorama taking in the bay, downs and Golden Hill Fort inland. There are black granite worktops contrasting with glossy ivory coloured units, a built-in gas hob with extractor, an electric fan oven and integrated washing machine, dishwasher and fridge freezer.

Rear-facing bedroom one, measuring 19ft by 10ft, has super sea views, access to the sea-facing balcony, built-in double wardrobe and a fully-tiled en-suite shower room, with a wet room style shower, with rainfall head and wall hung WC and handbasin.

Similar rear views can be seen from good-sized bedroom three. Big bedroom two has sea and countryside views and access to the side terrace.

Its large, beautifully-appointed en-suite bath/shower room is fully-tiled and includes a corner wet-room style shower with rainfall head and bath.

It can also be accessed from the entrance hall and opposite is a fully-tiled WC with handbasin.

The apartment is available on a long lease and the freehold of the property is to be transferred to a management company, with shares issued to leaseholders.
