A dream Isle of Wight home, dubbed a 'masterpiece of contemporary architectural design' and set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, is on the market for £1.95 million.

Southdown is the ultimate coastal/rural retreat, according to agent Spence Willard and is a short walk from Whale Chine and The Wight Mouse pub.

Set over three levels, it enjoys half an acre of land, views of rolling countryside and has free sunsets thrown in (weather-permitting).

With five bedrooms and four bathrooms, it is finished to an 'extraordinary high standard', says the agent.
