2 bed Flat For Sale £275,000
Whitecliff House is an attractive three storey building which was originally a substantial detached Victorian villa dating from around 1850. The main part of the building was more recently converted into three generous apartments, one on each floor, in 2009. Historically, the house was home to Alice Liddell and her family and it is said that she served Lewis Carroll as a model for Alice in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865), who temporarily resided opposite.
The apartment offers well presented and spacious rooms and is situated on the top floor of this attractive Victorian building, benefitting from the elevated views towards Afton Down and a sea glimpse. The accommodation features a generous kitchen/diner which opens through to an equally generous living room. There are two good double bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, as well as a main bathroom. Being a more recent conversion, the property does benefit from very good levels of insulation, a modern gas central heating system with radiators in all rooms and double glazed windows throughout. The security telephone entry system provides convenient access for visitors as well as peace of mind for those wanting a lock up and leave second home.
Location Within a hundred yards of the property there is the Orchard Brothers general store, The Piano Bar café/bistro and the attractive thatched church of St Agnes, together with access via local footpaths and bridleways onto Tennyson Down. The beach in Freshwater Bay and the sssi protected Afton Nature Reserve are both within a few hundred yards walk and the shops services and amenities in Freshwater village centre is within a mile. Access to the mainland via ferry is located in the harbour town of Yarmouth which is around a three mile drive and also accessible via bicycle from The Causeway along the old railway line, making this property ideally suited as either a permanent home or second home/holiday retreat.
