5 bed detached house for sale

Mitchell Avenue, Ventnor, Isle Of Wight PO38

Set back from the road and accessed via wrought iron gates, this stunning detached stone-built Victorian coach house perfectly blends timeless character with modern comfort. Originally serving as a coach house, the property has been beautifully converted to create a distinctive and inviting family home.

A private block-paved driveway offers ample parking, bordered by mature gardens that provide privacy and a picturesque approach. The home's impressive entrance, framed by one of the original arched coach openings and fitted with a solid wood door, sets an elegant tone that continues throughout.

Inside, a spacious entrance hall leads to a magnificent sitting room featuring a floor-to-ceiling arched window and a charming fireplace with a wood-burning stove, filling the space with warmth and light. The adjoining dining room is equally striking, with a stunning leaded glass arched window, ideal for entertaining or family gatherings. Two adjoining rooms provide flexible options, a utility room and a larger space currently used as a workshop, easily adaptable as a home office or playroom.

The bright kitchen offers extensive fitted units, ample workspace, and a breakfast area that opens through French doors to a delightful Mediterranean-style garden. This private outdoor retreat features a decked dining area and a lawn bordered by mature planting, enjoying a sunny southerly aspect and far-reaching views over the English Channel.

Upstairs, the split-level layout comprises four generous double bedrooms, one with sea views and the others overlooking the scenic St. Boniface Downs. The floor also includes a family bathroom, a separate shower room, and an additional versatile room that could serve as a study, dressing room, or nursery.

Offered chain free, this remarkable period home combines Victorian elegance, flexible living spaces, and beautiful landscaped gardens in a peaceful, private setting, with the added allure of spectacular coastal and countryside views.

What the Owner says:
We've always loved living in Ventnor, it has such a wonderful charm and community feel. Our home is in a great spot; we can stroll down into town to enjoy the excellent shops, cafés, and restaurants, or wander a little further to the beach. Just as easily, we can head up onto the Downs to take in the fresh air and stunning views. It's a fantastic base for cycling too, with so many scenic routes close by. The bus stop is conveniently nearby, and services run regularly.

Ventnor Exchange is an innovative cultural hub in the town centre, hosting performances and workshops. It is also home to the nationally acclaimed Ventnor Fringe Festival, held every July, where it is possible to enjoy performances by both local and nationally known performers and international acts.

We truly love our home – it's been a happy place for us for 25 years, and we've treasured every moment here.
