Chapel Cottage is peacefully located just a short stroll from the village centre which offers a pretty twelfth-century St. Peter's Church and a host of local amenities are on the doorstep including a popular country pub with its freshwater stream, a handy shop, and a recreation ground with a playground. The historic Northcourt House and Wolverton Manor are also located in the village and offer a host of summer activities and events, including summer fetes and family-friendly festivals. Situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, keen walkers and cyclists can enjoy the breathtaking surrounding countryside of Shorwell which backs onto chalk downs and connects with a network of footpaths leading to the southern coast of the island with its superb beaches and opportunities for water sports. Additionally, Shorwell is conveniently situated for the village of Carisbrooke with its magnificent castle and the county town of Newport which is just under five miles away providing a range of popular shops, restaurants and a cinema. The village is linked to other parts of the Island by Southern Vectis bus route 12, serving Freshwater, Totland and Newport as well as intermediate villages.
