6 bed detached house for sale

Ventnor, Isle Of Wight PO38

Occupying a superb elevated and south facing position, a handsome detached period house with commanding views over the English Channel and a superb garden

Trewartha

Situated in close proximity to The Royal Hotel in a quiet position perched over the bay and within the Conservation Area with panoramic southerly sea views that can be enjoyed from the house and garden. There is easy access to the beach and coastal path below whilst the town’s amenities are just a short level walk away with a good range of bars, restaurants and shops. The Esplanade that runs along the Blue Flag sandy beach has further eateries and a fish market whilst the nearby Botanic Gardens thrive in the area’s great micro-climate. The surrounding area has superb walks amongst a rugged coastline with numerous sandy bays and downland views.

This fine detached stone property is set in largely walled grounds approaching half an acre with a particularly wonderful level lawned garden with a summer house from which the views can be enjoyed and ideal for entertaining. In addition, there is a garage and two parking spaces.

The house would now benefit from modernisation but retains an array of period features. The property has been subject to a recent insurance claim for subsidence resulting in comprehensive works to stabilise the foundations with internal repairs currently being undertaken which will benefit from a certificate of structural adequacy on completion of works. In addition, the works to the foundations will have a 10 year guarantee. Walls at the bottom of the garden have been repaired with the installation of ground anchors. The substantial conservatory believed to have been constructed in 1980s is towards the end of its life and needs either considerable repair or replacement. The gas fired boiler serving the central heating system is also in need of replacement.
