This excellent, four-bedroom property is ideally situated in St. Lawrence - a pretty village within the parish of Ventnor which has its own microclimate and experiences milder weather than the rest of the island and UK as a whole.
Within a couple of minutes' walk is of one of the island's hidden treasures – Steephill Cove - the most secluded and picturesque beach on the Isle of Wight. Here you can experience the finest Ventnor Bay caught seafood at The Crab Shed or The Beach Shack, both situated right on the beach, whilst enjoying breathtaking sea views. Another absolute gem of a place right on the doorstep is Ventnor Botanic Gardens, once a respiratory hospital that now showcases a spectacular display of flowers from around the world, thanks to Ventnor's unique climate.
This property has three double bedrooms on the first floor, and from the main bedroom at the front are beautiful sea views. Also on the first floor is a good sized, family bathroom. On the ground floor is a very spacious kitchen, with lovely wooden-fronted cupboards, as well as a large separate utility room, handily located directly off the kitchen. The vast lounge is a lovely, light space due to dual aspect windows and an impressive set of French doors which lead onto a paved area, ideal for enjoying the pretty, rural and sea views. Adjacent is the dining room, which enjoys the same lovely views from its own set of French doors, as well as also benefitting from dual aspect windows. Towards the rear of the ground floor is a fourth double bedroom, complete with en-suite bathroom, as well as an additional, separate cloakroom.
Outside, this property benefits from wrap around gardens, mostly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and trees in the large rear garden. There is access to the home via a private road with two single garages and ample parking on the driveway.
Please refer to the footnote regarding the services and appliances.
Ventnor has a rich history of being a health resort for both holidaying celebrities, and for those suffering with respiratory conditions during Queen Victoria's rein and it remains one of the most sought-after places to visit in the UK. It is also home to some of the best restaurants in the UK, with the Michelin starred Hambrough and the infamous Royal Hotel – a former favourite of Queen Victoria's that has lost none of its credibility since.
There are many more fantastic restaurants in town including the iconic art deco Winter Gardens that overlooks the bay – the perfect setting for a bite to eat or to see a show.
Ventnor has more recently become known for the Ventnor Fringe Festival; an annual, week-long celebration of comedy, theatre and performing arts. The UK's oldest theme park, Blackgang Chine is just down the road, a place where the island's unique history combines with modern amusements.
There are several sporting clubs within the parish including cricket, rugby, football and bowling. There is also a riding school and golf club close by. There is a selection of schools in the vicinity including the highly sought after Island Free School.
