House For Sale £550,000
Whether you have a large family, inter-generational requirements or are looking to continue the business, this substantial house could tick all the right boxes. The Bell Lodge includes a wide forecourt providing off road parking for at least six cars, which is a real bonus in Sandown. It is only a short stroll from the seafront and Sandown pier and is currently being run as a highly successful bed and breakfast with eight individually designed en suite bedrooms and a self-contained annex, providing independent owner's accommodation. However, there is plenty of flexibility available, depending upon future needs.
The property has been completely renovated and again updated within the last few years. The entrance hall currently includes a reception area and a comfortable downstairs bathroom. Access to the attractive light and bright dining room where guests currently enjoy a hearty breakfast is off the main hallway which would also make an impressive entertainment space for family celebrations and formal dinners. It opens directly into a relaxing sitting room area with a door to the guests ‘garden that includes a seating area, lawn and shrub borders.
There is a very useful office / study and storage rooms on the ground floor as well as two double bedrooms with en suite showers, including one with a stunning London themed decor. There is a fully equipped commercial kitchen with stainless steel worktops, a stainless-steel central island, four sinks, a double range cooker, a commercial fridge and a dishwasher.
On the ground floor at the back of the property, completely self-contained with its own entrance (separate from the main building) is the annex that could provide accommodation for the owners if the rest of the house is being used as a bed and breakfast. Alternatively, it would make an ideal apartment for elderly relatives, adult children or as a holiday let. There is a full bathroom, and two bedrooms including the main bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a living area incorporating a modern fitted kitchen and sliding doors to a delightful conservatory that makes an excellent additional dining and sitting room. This leads to a private and secluded garden that is ideal for relaxing in the sunshine.
What the Owner says:
I bought the property about eight years ago and, at the time, it was in a terrible state and it took nearly a year to renovate it and refurbish it to become the fascinating property it is today. It has been a delightful place to live and develop a successful bed and breakfast business but I feel it is now time for me to retire and pass the baton on to new owners.
The position is ideal as it is only a short walk to the seafront and the high street or, in the opposite direction, there is the station for trains that run between Ryde Pier Head and Shanklin. Sandown includes a range of shops, restaurants, schools and its well-known pier as well as the Wildheart Animal Sanctuary. It also hosts a number of annual events including a carnival and the lovely beach won 'Beach of the Year Award' in the bbc Countryfile Magazine Awards 2019. For sporting enthusiasts there are a variety of water sports available as well as a rugby club and the Shanklin and Sandown golf club.
