MOONS HILL • ISLE OF WIGHT
Moons Hill House is an elegant Victorian country home refurbished to
an exceptional, award-winning level set in 8½ acres of tranquil gardens
and pasture. The elevated position offers outstanding views. The
extensive gardens, landscaped by internationally-renowned garden
designer John Brookes, provide beautiful surroundings and privacy.
The house is approached along a newly laid drive with turning and
parking space by the main house and double garage.
The entrance hall creates a marvellous welcome with its double height ceiling,
elegant curved staircase and roof lantern.
The morning room has views east over the lily pond towards Farringford -
the home of Alfred Lord Tennyson, poet Laureate to Queen Victoria - and south
over the lawns, mature rose beds and shrub borders. Across the hall the south
windows in the drawing room have garden views towards the all-weather tennis
court while the westerly bay window attracts the afternoon sunshine.
Morning Room
Drawing Room
The kitchen/breakfast room opens onto the large terrace providing a
contemporary indoor-outdoor entertaining space with sunny garden views to the
west. Off the kitchen are a dining room and a well-appointed Neville Johnson
fitted study. Beneath the study is the wine cellar - a “Spiral Cellar” with capacity
for over 1,000 bottles.
There is underfloor heating throughout the downstairs and in the master suite
bathrooms. Period style radiators heat the upstairs. The lighting is designed by John
Cullen of London. A “Lutron Homeworks” computerised home automation system
controls the lighting, curtains, blinds, central TV/music system and ceiling speakers.
There is computer network CAT6 cabling and WiFi.

Master Bedroom
Guest Bedroom
Upstairs the outstanding master suite contains the bedroom, dressing room with
fitted wardrobes and separate “His” and “Hers” bathrooms. Both bathrooms
are luxuriously appointed with marble-lined showers, separate baths, bidets and
mirrored wash basin areas offering comfort, privacy and convenience for the owners.
Two further bedroom suites, each with stylish modern bathrooms, provide equal
comfort and privacy for family or guests.
Part of the house was originally the 19th century coach house that now
has three of the bedrooms and two bathrooms. With its own kitchen/
breakfast room, conservatory and patio it can be used as part of the
main accommodation or as a self-contained annexe.
The newly-built capacious double garage has two automatic doors.
It provides secure and clean storage for cars and has been built with a
Welsh slate tiled roof and red ridge tiles to blend exactly with the original
buildings. The double-hipped roof is topped with a cupola clock tower.
Beyond the garage is a block of four stables. The present owners use
them for garden workshop facilities and storage but the stable doors
have been retained so that horses could once more be accommodated
if required. There is a gardeners’ kitchenette and a toilet.
A large barn is currently used to house garden equipment and offers
potential storage for items such as a boat/trailer. Another garden
shed houses the irrigation tank, pump and programmer. These supply
the automatic sprinkler system that waters the vegetable garden,
lawns and terrace.
The back garden faces just south of west and attracts the sunshine from midday
until sunset. The south aspect has mature wisteria on the wall and a lawn
surrounded by roses, shrubs and flowers.
South Garden
The all-weather tennis court is attractively surrounded by mature planting and shrubs
along the south edge of the main garden. Behind the court is a wild flower garden
- at its best in the months of May, June and July. To the north and west of the main
terrace is a vegetable and cut-flower garden, superbly created with “Breedon” gravel
paths between raised beds that are planted with a variety of vegetables and flowers.
