GUIDE PRICE £875,000

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

A superbly presented Victorian seaside villa with four

bedrooms to the main house and four Boutique Style holiday

apartments. Close to Ventnor town centre, beaches and

overlooking Ventnor Park.

The current owners have painstakingly refurbished and

enhanced this fine Victorian Villa to create a truly

impressive family home and a thriving holiday letting

business providing a substantial income. Ideally located on

the outskirts of the highly popular South Wight resort of

Ventnor, the property offers the perfect opportunity to build

on the current success of the business whilst at the same time

enjoying private family accommodation comprising the

entire ground floor. Alternatively the property would suit

anyone seeking a substantial flexible family home with

flexible secondary accommodation.

The property retains many period features such as high

skirting boards, moulded cornices and architraves. Ventnor

is an extremely sought after location on the Island proving

very popular for those looking to relocate to enjoy the

quieter pace of life. There is an extensive range of shops,

restaurants, and cafes in the town centre and the beautiful

bay offers a perfect place to enjoy the local "micro-climate"

that the setting enjoys.

The property is set back from Park Avenue and overlooks

Ventnor Park. A pathway leads to the front of the house with

an enclosed storm porch and into the impressive hallway

with a beautiful period staircase. The sitting room is truly

impressive with a bay window to the front and large wood

burner. The spacious kitchen/dining room has been totally

renovated with attractive built-in units, worktops and

integrated appliances. This large room also enjoys views

over the front garden. The master bedroom is light and airy

with a modern bathroom en-suite and walk-in wardrobe. The

remaining three bedrooms comprising the "private"

accommodation are also spacious with bedroom 2 benefiting

from the shower room en-suite.

The four Holiday Apartments occupy the second and top

floor of the property and can either be accessed from a

separate entrance to the rear or via the main house. The

apartments have been designed to an extremely high

standard to offer Boutique style accommodation. The

apartments named Victoria, Albert, Carisbrooke and

Osborne vary in size therefore offer flexible accommodation.

Each apartment has been fully equipped with everything that

guests could require to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing stay in

this beautiful location. Details of occupancy rates and

trading income are available to potential buyers on request.

The current owners would be prepared to offer the property

as an ongoing business to include the majority of the fixtures

and fittings in the apartments. This would form part of the

negotiation. The exact layout of the apartments is outlined on

the floor plan forming part of these sales particulars.

Ventnor

Ventnor was made popular during the Victorian era when most of the town was built. The notably warmer climate is one

reason why Ventnor remains a popular destination today. The town now offers a variety of shops, primary school, banks,

pubs and restaurants. Ventnor Cricket Club and the Botanic gardens are close by.

The Isle of Wight

The Isle of Wight, situated off the South Coast of England, is becoming an ever-more popular location for permanent

and second homes. Made popular by Queen Victoria, who had her maritime residence at Osborne, the Island is famous

for sailing in the Solent; for Cowes Week; for its beautiful coastline including sandy beaches and The Needles;

spectacular countryside and long sunshine hours. There are now many more facilities than once was the case,

Sainsburys, Tesco, M&S and now Waitrose all now have a presence as have other national chains. Communication and

transport links are excellent; regular car ferries connect with the national motorway network and fast catamarans have

connections via Southampton and Portsmouth with direct trains to London Waterloo which can be reached within 2

hours of leaving the Island shore. Government-funded schools are numerous and independent schools thrive on the

Island with some children attending prep and public schools on the mainland. Leisure opportunities abound - walking,

riding, paragliding, hang-gliding, team sports, sailing, wind surfing and other water sports, rugby, football (Newport

Football Club) cricket and golf clubs. Good transport links enable day trips to the shopping centres of West Quay,

Southampton and Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth.
