House For Sale £895,000
This property is an impressive, detached Victorian family home that stands in an elevated position with views across the countryside to the sea on the outskirts of Ventnor. It has been modernised to accommodate the requirements of 21st century owners but still retains some charming period features that give it so much character. Whether it is the exterior mellow stone and rendered wall, the chimney stack, unusual windows or stone porch on the outside or the panelled sitting room, wood flooring that flows through much of the ground floor and fireplaces on the inside, you can find something to enjoy wherever you look.
There are a number of entrances to this property including through the stone porch that leads directly to the delightful lounge with its picture rail height wood panelling, built in shelving and a charming brick fireplace. The main front door opens into the hallway with stairs to the first floor, an understairs cloakroom and also stairs to the cellar that is currently available for storage but could always be converted into a bar and/or games room. There is a comfortable sitting room with wood flooring, a cast iron fireplace and wide windows providing plenty of natural light. This could always be used as a study for anyone working from home or as a separate dining area.
Flanked by arches between the country style kitchen/breakfast room and the dining area, the central chimney breast creates a delightful feature. It incorporates a range cooker on the kitchen side and a cast iron fireplace on the other side. There are also walk in storage cupboards and a large boot room with a door to the garden that would make an excellent utility area.
Upstairs there is a family bathroom and five bedrooms including the dual aspect master with lovely views and another that is currently in use as an office/music room. The rear garden is a haven for wildlife with its lawn areas, pergola and block paved patios nestling amongst a plethora of trees and shrubs borders where you can sit and relax in your own little paradise. At the front of the house there are also delightful shrubs that compliment the attractive facade.
What the Owner says:
This has been a lovely family home but we feel it is now time to start a new chapter in our lives. One of the things we really liked about it has been the location and the character of the property. As we are on the outskirts of Ventnor, we can enjoy country walks but also be able to take advantage of the amenities available in the town.
Ventnor has a charming seafront with a traditional bandstand and great walks along the sea wall and beside the gorgeous Cascade Gardens. Ventnor's all year-round climate is milder than surrounding areas and as is notable for its superb Victorian Botanic Gardens, where you can enjoy a stroll round this 22-acre sub-tropical paradise. The town has several sporting clubs including cricket, rugby, football, angling and bowling as well as a riding school and local golf club. There is a selection of schools in the vicinity with the St Boniface primary being graded as Outstanding by Ofsted. It is also the location for the island's 'Free School'.
