2 bed Flat For Sale £450,000
Shanklin, Isle of Wight

Situated on the first floor and accessed through the delightful glazed atrium, apartment 3 St Anthony's is a substantial apartment extending to a substantial 96sqm of gross internal area offering two large double ensuite bedrooms.

St Anthony's is a superb refurbishment of an historic and particularly charming period building, occupying a secluded position with glorious sea views over The Bay. The former convent originates from 1860 and is a fascinating example of architecture with its ornate brick work turret and stunning light filled internal spaces. A comprehensive renovation of the building has seen a sympathetic conversion into 8 luxurious and spacious apartments, all achieving sea views and enjoying use of private gardens wrapping around the property. Each apartment within the building has been carefully arranged and finished to a beautiful standard using every existing feature and carpentry detailing to both enhance the original character of this period building and provide modern open spaces enjoying natural light and stunning views. Stylish curated kitchens are complemented by original doors and cupboards while bathrooms boast a range of attractive flooring and sanitary ware with high specification multifunction shower units. There is off-road parking and direct access to the cliff path which leads to the beach.

Situated on the edge of picturesque Shanklin, St Anthony's is moments from the cliff steps leading down to Shanklin's beach and the amenities of Shanklin, including a range of shops, restaurants and theatre are a short walk away. A train service to Ryde provides access to passenger ferry services to Portsmouth, connecting with trains to London, the entire journey time taking two and a half hours. There are also plenty of beaches, bays and coves nearby and there are stunning walks upon the Luccombe and Wroxall Downs or along the coastal paths. The area has an excellent micro-climate and nearby Ventnor has botanical gardens, further award-winning restaurants and a fish market in its sandy bay.
