This detached property sits at the end of a driveway accessed off Victoria Avenue in the popular town of Shanklin on the Isle of Wight, close to local schools, businesses and a short drive from Shanklin's sandy beaches with excellent road network access to the rest of the Island.
The property sits on a plot of 0.24 hectares (0.59 acres) and offers a flexible mixture of accommodation over four floors, including six bedrooms. Four of the bedrooms have en-suite facilities and there is access to an attractive terrace from the bedrooms and many reception rooms overlooking the impressive garden. On the lower level there is a games room, further storage rooms, an additional shower room and a play room which has the foundations already dug for the installation of a swimming pool under the timber floor which has access to the patio and gardens.
There is ample parking on the driveway at the front with vehicular access available directly into the garden.
The property requires a significant programme of refurbishment but is worthy of such a scheme, after which it could be a splendid family home or weekend retreat. Alternative uses such as guest house accommodation, holiday home let, rental investment or perhaps site re-development to offer multiple dwellings may be possible, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.
