Situated in a scenic residential spot on the outskirts Shanklin, this charming single-storey property offers a beautifully appointed home, complete with a fabulous south-facing garden and driveway parking.

The seaside town of Shanklin offers extensive sandy beaches and seafront amusements which are located under two miles away from the property, and there are a wonderful mix of independent shops, cafes, and restaurants in the nearby Shanklin High Street and the historical old village with its charming thatched cottages. The local theatre hosts professional acts and amateur shows throughout the year and the local Bay C of E School provides an Ofsted rated 'good' education at both primary and secondary level.
