CAMPIELLO, ISLE OF WIGHT



The company who insured the 30's bungalow that was slowly subsiding on this site made our client an offer he couldn't refuse.He decided that what he needed instead was a four-storey Gothick Follie complete with billiards room, boathouse and a lookout tower. Charles Jarvis of Westbury, the world's most gifted and long-suffering craftsman, spent five years reassembling stone window cases salvaged from Victorian lunatic Asylums, cast iron tracery from Edwardian seaside piers and wormed sections of Mediaeval pew panels to create this extraordinary house which is beginning to look as if it's been there for ever.
