This stunning, inverted property has been specifically designed for optimal enjoyment of the spectacular sea views across the English Channel and is in a prime position on the outskirts of the historic seaside town of Ventnor.
The ground floor comprises three double bedrooms which enjoy access to two stunning shower rooms, both of which have been recently updated to a very high standard. There is also a handy utility room on this floor and a central hallway with an art deco inspired wooden staircase.
The first floor has also seen recent remodelling and the overall effect is stunning. On the outside is a huge balcony that spans the entirety of the front and two sides of the property. The kitchen is gorgeous, with matt grey cabinets and attractive countertops, and equipped with all the mod cons required to make cooking a dream, including double fan oven and integrated appliances. At the end is a breakfast bar and a convenient serving hatch through to the dining area.
The sizeable, open plan lounge / dining area is a fabulous, light and airy space where the breathtaking sea views can truly be appreciated. Step out of the French or patio doors onto the impressive balcony and walk around the outside of the house to the viewing terrace. Equally, you can sit back and enjoy the views from the comfort of the conservatory in all seasons.
Outside to the rear is a low maintenance, tiered garden, mostly laid to slabs with various plants scattered throughout. In a secluded spot is a heated swimming pool – fantastic for really making the most of the above average climate in Ventnor. To the front is another paved garden with a large driveway and double garage.
What the Owner says:
The seaside town of Ventnor has its own microclimate and experiences milder weather than the rest of the island and England as a whole. It is a thriving fishing town and there is no better place to experience the wonderful, locally caught seafood than in some of the best restaurants in the country, right on your doorstep. There's the Michelin starred Hambrough, the infamous Royal Hotel and the iconic art deco Winter Gardens that overlooks the bay, as well as more recent additions, like the smoking lobster, where you can often spot a celebrity or two.
The town enjoys a pleasant mix of boutique shops with more mainstream stores, such as Co-op and Boots chemist. There are also numerous footpaths accessing the beautiful surrounding countryside, or you can enjoy the spectacular sea views along the coastal path to Steephill Cove; a little gem of a place that has a couple of eateries serving Ventnor Bay crab and a gorgeous beach.
Ventnor has a rich history of being a health resort during Queen Victoria's reign and boasts the UK's oldest theme park, Blackgang Chine. More recently, the town has become known for Ventnor Fringe Festival; a week-long celebration of the performing arts, and is also home to the highly sought after Island Free School.
