Property description

Situated in an elevated position, with views across to the sea in the charming seaside resort of Ventnor, is this unique property. Originally built in the early 1830s it has been completely refurbished by the current owners and still has a number of interesting period features. These include painted beams, picture rails and the simply stunning atrium style entrance with fascinating windows on three sides that rise up to the top of the building and surround the wonderful staircase. Walking through the glazed double doors into the entrance hall with original floor tiles, your eyes are drawn upwards as far as the glass apex at the top of the house.

Leading from the entrance hall is a superb modern open plan kitchen/living area with lovely herringbone parquet flooring and a seating area. There are beautiful blue real wood units housing a double oven, hob, Quooker tap, dishwasher fridge and freezer and a door to the large, fitted utility room that has access to a downstairs cloakroom and a ‘snug/breakfast' area with windows to the hall.

The split level first floor has a very large double bedroom with an en suite shower but, in order to take advantage of the views through the floor to ceiling windows, this double aspect room is currently being used as the main sitting room. There is a lovely large, light and bright landing with the atrium windows on three sides and plenty of space to sit and enjoy the panoramic vista. On the split level second floor you will find plenty of storage cupboards together with a family shower room and three bedrooms including one with an en suite bathroom and the dual aspect main bedroom with fitted wardrobes.

Owing to the topography of the property the rear wooded garden is accessed from the top of the house and includes charming seating areas that are real vantage points for enjoying the surrounding scenery. At the front of the house there is off road parking for three cars and an electric charging point.

What the Owner says:
We were lucky enough to purchase this unique character house in 2018 after we fell in love with it on a visit to the Isle of Wight. The original house dates back to 1832, it features a wonderful glass atrium to the front of the house, a beautiful large winding staircase, spacious rooms and to top it all sea views! It has been a labour of love to refurbish the property and it is also a lovely place to live. The back garden has a wonderful large but steep woodland area teaming with wildlife such as foxes, badgers, lizards, hedgehogs and birds etc. With seating areas on three different levels offering sea views, allowing us to sit back and enjoy the sunshine in a tranquil oasis. Like most of our neighbours we deliberately leave the majority of the woodland garden area to mother nature for the wildlife to enjoy which is perfect for us as it means it's low maintenance too. The location is ideal as we are set away from the busy areas but within walking distance to both the beach and the high street, with an eclectic mix of local shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes or to go for country walks on St Boniface Downs which is owned by the National Trust and is an area of Special Scientific Interest. Ventnor is a charming small town which became a popular upmarket seaside resort during Victorian times as it has its own unique micro-climate. We often stroll down to the seafront past the beautiful Cascade Gardens to the beach that's popular with families and surfers, and enjoy a cool drink.
