Rare Edwardian six-bedroom home with gardens, garage and Solent views, minutes from the beach..
One road back from Stokes Bay seafront and village amenities
Set one road back from Stokes Bay, this substantial six-bedroom detached Edwardian home occupies a large plot with beautiful established gardens and patios for al fresco dining. Generous reception space across three floors — including three reception rooms, study/gym and a kitchen/breakfast room with a separate summer kitchen and utility — makes the house well suited to a large or growing family and for entertaining.
Period character is evident throughout: high ceilings, bay windows and traditional architectural detail combine with practical additions such as double glazing and mains gas central heating. Roof-top views toward the Solent and Isle of Wight are visible from the upper floors. There is parking front and rear, a double detached garage and a separate workshop, improving practicality for cars, hobbies and storage.
The property has an EPC rating of C (69) and is freehold. Council tax is noted as quite expensive, and buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance typical of a large period home. Local schools are mostly rated Good, though the nearest secondary (Bay House) currently Requires Improvement. The house has been rarely offered for sale historically, presenting a distinctive opportunity on a sought-after road close to the seafront.
This home will particularly suit buyers seeking a substantial, character property in an affluent, coastal neighbourhood. Those wanting a turnkey modern interior should note the house’s traditional layout and character; modest updating or refurbishment may be required to meet contemporary preferences.
