Summers Court has been developed piecemeal over the last 30+ years with detached bungalows enjoying this splendid location a short drive from the centre of Freshwater. The site extends to 0.35 hectares (0.86 acres) on a gently sloping site, which enjoys the most attractive views towards Afton Down which was the site of the famous 1970 Isle of Wight music festival reputedly attended by around 200,000 music lovers.
The site has the advantage of roadways having been previously supplied to service other development and we are advised that main services are also available subject to individual connection to the newly built bungalows, although of course prospective purchasers should rely on their own enquires.
Freshwater and indeed the western end of the Isle of Wight generally are a popular retirement location and with planning consent for new bungalows increasingly rare in this day and age. It is considered that the demand for the newly built units is likely to be strong.
Planning Planning consent was originally obtained for a housing estate on land abutting Summers Lane and Court Road Freshwater under ref: TCP/2927 on 1st October 1952, subject to conditions.
As indicated, the site has been developed piecemeal since. The latest planning application to which the subject site can be referenced is under ref: 22/00076/ARM for Approval of Reserved Matters on TCP/2927 for layout, appearance, scale and landscaping for the construction of seven dwellings (revised description) (revised plans) (readvertised application) dated 31st March 2025, subject to conditions.
