Extra Amenities

Hadfield Cottage lies within the grounds of Winterborne House and is noted as a former residence of Charles Dickens, who rented the property in the summer of 1849. Adjacent to the owner’s home, this was where it is believed that Charles Dicken worked on his novel ‘David Copperfield’. Dickens, considered to be one of the greatest English novelists of the Victorian period, enjoyed a wider popularity and fame than had any previous author during his lifetime and continues to remain popular, having been responsible for some of English literature’s most iconic novels and characters.
Hadfield Cottage can comfortably accommodate up to seven people, is dog friendly and is ideal for large or extended families. The property’s unusual layout works fantastically with two of the property’s bedrooms and a shower room located on the ground floor.

The cottage comes with off road parking for two vehicles and has its own courtyard garden to the front with a small patio area.

The cottage’s location is only a short walk from Bonchurch beach and its fishermen’s cottages.
Ventnor, a traditional Victorian seaside town, is only short a distance away with a great variety of local shops, restaurants and public houses serving locally caught fresh fish and locally brewed ales.
