About this property

A lovely terraced Victorian townhouse situated in the town of Ventnor on the Isle of Wight. This is a perfect location for families or a group of friends wishing to explore this delightful island. This beautiful Victorian townhouse was newly refurbished in 2015, whilst still retaining many of its original features with a lovely first floor roof terrace with wrought iron balustrade and a three tiered garden, which all offer unobstructed sea views. On the ground floor is a twin bedroom, and a stunning open plan living area with fitted kitchen, including a range oven and island, a large dining table, and a comfortable sitting area to relax and watch TV. Bi-folding doors in the living area open onto the decked seating area, combining the house and garden together, so that you can sit and relax with your morning coffee and enjoy the picturesque sea views. The first floor also has a twin bedroom with lovely views of the Downs, a family bathroom, which has retained quirky original features and the main sitting room, with French doors leading out onto the elegant balcony/roof terrace furnished with sun loungers. Up on the second floor is another twin bedroom, family shower room and the master bedroom, with a king bed and a beautiful roll-top bath. Even from the bed and bath one can admire the superb sea views. From the decking, step down into a small cottage garden, a perfect butterfly haven, walk through the gate into the slate patio, where there is a rattan table, benches to enjoy a well-deserved drink, whilst watching the glistening sea and some of the most stunning sunsets. Two minutes’ walk from this lovely cottage is the beach at Wheelers Bay, a fisherman’s paradise, and from here you can walk along the sea defences and concrete coastal path to the Esplanade in Ventnor where there are many pubs, restaurants and cafés. A little further along the coastal path is the picturesque Steephill Cove, the perfect beach for swimming, or simply just indulging in savouring the locally-caught crab and lobsters in one of the many eateries, a little haven even in the height of the summer time. There is so much to do and see on the Isle of Wight including visiting The Needles Adventure Park which has a park, shopping centre, tea rooms, 9-hole golf course and many other attractions. A truly wonderful Victorian townhouse, that you can enjoy all year round.

The quaint Victorian seaside resort of Ventnor is located at the southern end of the island and accessed via an array of steep winding roads set amidst beautiful scenery. Sheltered by St. Boniface Down, one of the island's highest points and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this charming town has a uniquely mild micro climate enabling tropical and exotic plants to grow throughout the area. The gently sloping sandy and fine shingle beaches provide excellent facilities for watersports and offer a range of stunning coastal paths to explore, while the harbour sells a broad range of fresh fish and locally-caught seafood. A good variety of shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants line the esplanade, whilst the Botanical Gardens are within easy reach and well worth a visit.

    Thank you for the extras (milk, bread, coffee, toiletries etc), lovely and unexpected. The property was very quiet, spacious and the views are amazing. We particularly enjoyed family drinks and games on the first floor terrace overlooking the sea. The location was fine for us and we were aware of the parking fees but it was nice to know we could park freely for the week without feeding parking meters when touring the island. We did see a parking enforcer in the town. Recommend walking on the sea front (Wheeler's bay beyond the sea pot?) to the east of the property, we saw somebody catch a large bass for his lunch. Thanks again.

    We located it to be the shower within the bedroom.The whole idea of a shower plonked in the corner full view of the room and onto carpet is an odd one.We had to buy bleach to try and get rid of the smell. It would last for a day and then the smell was back. The other shower cubicle was incredibly small no room to bend down to pick up soap without banging your head Also we have photos showing the green gunk growing inside and the hairs. The sofa in breakfast room had lots of feathers dust and rubbish under the cushions .The one dining chairs legged wobbled and my child fell off it only to discover screws are missing from underneath. The cups and plates had rings and food remnants on them. We were told car parking was good with on road parking available or a nearby carpark that was reasonable.We had to pay £65 for a week on top of what we had spent for the house.!! We were misled by photos that showed the beds to be further apart and we're convinced there were 2 double beds.The one photo shows a pine frame with no other bed in site convincing us if was a double instead the beds are so close it was hard to squeeze between them. As expecting an old house we expected thick old walls deadening noise instead it travelled really badly. We could hear next doors talking baby crying and every word or noise the kids said. when upstsirs . The door knob mentioned in a previous review is still very much broken causing a child to get locked in the bathroom causing a panic. We loved the view thought it was well equipped and we're grateful for the welcome bits. Thankyou

    There was just a couple of maintenance issues that wouldn’t take a lot to rectify E.g, door handle on 2nd floor bathroom was loose and falling out and it would have been nice if the garden was maintained. It was also a little misleading that there was a picture of a BBQ in the photos but there wasn’t one available and in fact there was a sign to say they couldn’t be used due to fire regulations.
