What the Owner says:
Nestled on the Island's unspoilt south-western coast, Chale is a peaceful rural village known for its sweeping sea views, dramatic cliffs and far-reaching countryside. With a timeless charm and a strong sense of space, the area offers residents a rare combination of tranquillity and natural grandeur. The landscape is shaped by rolling fields, open skies and the famous Chale Bay, creating a setting that feels both secluded and inspiring.

At the heart of the village is a friendly, welcoming community that enjoys a quieter pace of life. Traditional homes, farmsteads and characterful cottages lie along leafy lanes, while local footpaths connect straight onto some of the island's most picturesque walking routes. Whether exploring nearby beaches, strolling across St. Catherine's Down or enjoying a view of the lighthouse at St. Catherine's Point, Chale offers endless opportunities to experience the Island's natural beauty.

Despite its rural appeal, Chale is well placed for access to the wider Isle of Wight. The neighbouring village of Niton provides essential amenities, charming shops and cosy pubs, while the coastal town of Ventnor is just a short drive away with its boutique cafés, award-winning restaurants and famed microclimate.
