This stunning Victorian residence presents a superb opportunity to acquire a character-filled coastal home boasting breathtaking and panoramic sea views. Situated in an elevated position within a sought-after residential street, this remarkable four-bedroom family home blends period charm with modern functionality, providing generous and flexible living accommodation.

Sympathetically updated over the years whilst retaining its original period features, the home provides elegance and warmth. The accommodation begins with a welcoming porch leading into a spacious entrance hall, which grants access to three impressive reception rooms, a staircase to the first floor, and a rear hallway. The thoughtfully designed layout maximizes both space and light, offering a seamless flow throughout the home.

The principal living and dining room is the heart of the property, filled with natural light from its south-facing windows that frame spectacular sea views. A charming open fireplace, wooden flooring, and an archway dividing the spaces add to the character of this exceptional room. The food preparation area features a gas-fired AGA within an alcove, flanked by built-in storage cupboards, while a window into the sheltered courtyard enhances the bright and airy feel. The adjacent kitchen is fitted with stylish cabinetry, a Portuguese marble worktop, and integrated appliances, providing a practical yet elegant space. The adjacent courtyard provides a shady seating area in the heat of the summer.

A separate sitting room at the front of the property offers another inviting entertaining area, complete with a large bay window that showcases uninterrupted views of the English Channel. Period details, including intricate ceiling mouldings and a feature fireplace, enhance the charm. Additionally, a flexible-use office space enjoys further sea views, making it ideal for remote working or as an additional reception area.

To the rear of the home, a hallway leads to a utility room and separate laundry room, and steps that lead up to the beautifully landscaped garden.  There is also access to two brick-built stores outside; with toilet, plumbing and electricity / power.

On the first floor, a split-level landing leads to a well-appointed family bathroom, a cloakroom, and a generously proportioned bedroom with direct access to the garden. The upper-level features two further bedrooms, including a magnificent principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room and a large bay window offering uninterrupted sea views. An additional spacious bedroom, originally two rooms, presents a wealth of possibilities, whether as a large family space, a luxurious master suite, or conversion back into two separate bedrooms. There is a rear lobby with a walk in dressing room and a door accessing steps which lead up to the garden.

Externally, the property boasts a stunning terraced garden, carefully planted with a variety of tropical and sub-tropical species that thrive in the unique microclimate of Ventnor’s south-facing coastline. Stone-edged beds, winding pathways, and a historic stone wall create a tranquil oasis, perfect for relaxation or entertaining.

Situated just a short walk from Ventnor’s vibrant high street, the home enjoys easy access to boutique shops, fine eateries, and essential amenities. The nearby coastline offers magnificent walks along the promenade, leading to Horseshoe Bay, Ventnor Beach, and Steephill Cove.

This exquisite period home is a true coastal gem, combining historical charm, breathtaking views, and flexible living spaces to create an exceptional family retreat.
