6 bedroom character property for sale

This stunning six-bedroom property has recently undergone a total renovation and partial rebuild to an exceptionally high specification and boasts spectacular, far reaching sea views. Originally built in 1895, the character features of this house begin externally, with the tastefully restored mouldings around the bay sash windows and pretty atrium porch, the Tudor style cladding to the second floor and ornate, carved facias. Other external benefits include a large gravel and paved driveway, with parking for multiple vehicles, as well as a brand-new garage, with oak double doors. Inside the property, off the large hallway, with its beautiful, Victorian style floor tiles, is a light and airy drawing room, with bay sash windows, wood flooring and attractive original fireplace. The full height, expansive cellar is accessed beneath the drawing room floor, reached via a hatch and wooden steps. The remarkable kitchen / breakfast area is a brand-new extension, finished to an exceptional standard and includes quality, integrated appliances, to include an induction hob, two separate ovens, American style fridge freezer, wine cooler and an impressive central island, finished with an attractive granite work surface. The bifold doors and roof lantern create a beautiful, bright space and open onto the picturesque, low maintenance, Mediterranean style garden that's been paved across two levels. Accessed from the kitchen is a separate utility room with a sink and plumbing for both washing machine and dryer. Also, off the kitchen, in the original house, is a formal dining room, with more beautiful wood flooring, an attractive exposed brick chimney breast with an inset wood burning stove, and a further reception room, that would make an excellent study or snug. To the first floor there are three good sized double bedrooms, all with hardwood floors, and a family bathroom with a lovely free-standing bath and separate shower cubicle. Bedroom 1, at the front of the house, has another beautifully restored, original fireplace, an en-suite shower room and breathtaking views of the English Channel. The second floor has a further three double bedrooms, en-suite shower room to bedroom 2 at the front of the house and well-appointed family bathroom, as well as a delightful balcony leading off bedroom 5, with far reaching views across the roof tops of Ventnor and the English Channel.

What the Owner says:
The seaside town of Ventnor has its own microclimate and experiences milder weather than the rest of the island and England as a whole. It has a rich history of being a health resort for both holidaying celebrities, and for those suffering with respiratory conditions. During Queen Victoria's reign the Royal National Hospital was established for the treatment of respiratory diseases, particularly TB. The site is now the magnificent Ventnor Botanic Gardens, which showcases a spectacular display of flowers from around the world, thanks to Ventnor's unique climate.
Ventnor is a thriving fishing town and there's no better place to experience the wonderful, locally caught seafood than in some of the best restaurants in the country, right on your doorstep. The Hambrough's restaurant with Executive Chef Matthew Thompson features in the Michelin Guide, Good Food Guide 2022 & 2023. The highly regarded Royal Hotel has been a drawcard in Ventnor since Queen Victoria's day. There are many more fantastic restaurants in town and, of course, the well-known, ever-popular Spyglass Inn.
More recently, the town has become known for Ventnor Fringe Festival; an annual, week-long celebration of comedy, theatre and performing arts. The town has several sporting clubs including cricket, rugby, football and bowling. There's also a riding school and golf club close by. There is a selection of schools in the vicinity including the highly sought after Island Free School.
