Property description

Spectatular home available on a six month let with immediate effect. The property is of the Victoria era and really is something that has to be viewed in order to appreciate its grandure. Set in a prestigious location opporsite Ventnor Park.

A rare chance to rent an incredible Victorian home has presented itself in the ever sought after location of Park Avenue, Ventnor. The properties in this area are few and far between to say the least and an opportunity to rent this one for six months has come about. We strongly urge those needing something of this size to view it.

The home is built from island stone and was constructed in 1876. Over the last few years the property has been restored to a beautiful standard, with some fantastic features still kept in place such as the grand fire places as well as some more contemporary ones being added.

To the property of the property is a picturesque verandah with decorative woodwork and glass canopy frames the architecture of building, linking the house to the terrace and lawn. There are large bay windows, original sashes and detailed fretwork under the eaves which creates a balance with the delicate design of the verandah below. A large gravel driveway offers plenty of parking and there is also a large front lawned garden to enjoy.

The interior is equally elegant with it‘s iconic high ceilings, ceiling roses, deep skirtings and a wealth of marble and cast iron fireplaces. Decoratively speaking the property has been brought up to date but has also kept a simple and sophisticated theme running throughout. The floorboards on the ground floor have been stripped and polished and really add to the overall character of this property. One side of the ground floor has been opened up to create 35ft kitchen dining room furnished to an impressive standard and there are also two further large reception rooms and a further sitting room on the ground floor (this is a part of a small annexe).

At the rear of the property there is an annexe style set up with small utility room fitted with white goods as well as a WC and lounge. Two bedrooms also link to this annexe on the first floor.

Upstairs are are six bedrooms in total. The master bedroom has access to the main bathroom - this can also be access from the main landing too. It is a Jack and Jill style bathroom. Both main bathrooms are furnished with claw footed roll top baths - again fitting with the overall theme of the property.

The outside space is just as breathtaking as the house itself with a landscaped front and rear gardens and terracing. There is exotic planting surrounding the property and large driveway.

The property is offered on a fully furnished basis.

No pets or housing assistance will be considered.
