The artist owner transformed this once rundown clapboard house into a stunning seaside home

Exterior of hamptons-style clapboard house with covered porch with pillars, dormer windows and pale green exterior.

This American-style clapboard house, built in 2008, was tired and rundown when an artist fell for its charms. Situated on the Isle of Wight, the house boasts an imposing position overlooking Bembridge, providing superb views of the harbour and to the mainland.

‘I decided to buy it as the location was ideal in so many ways, but it was clear the house needed major changes and internal renovation,' Bridget Lansley , the owner says. 'But to have a sea view is a rare luxury, so I knew it would be worth the effort needed.’
