Set a short stroll from Sandown’s golden beach, this 2-bedroom Victorian cottage blends period character with practical modern comforts. The ground floor hosts a cosy lounge, separate dining room and a good-sized kitchen, while two double bedrooms and a second bathroom occupy the upper floor — useful for family life or holiday guests. Double glazing and gas central heating are already in place for year-round comfort.
Outside there’s a private, low-maintenance rear space with mature planting plus small areas to the side and front ideal for pots. On-street parking is available nearby and main bus and train services are within easy reach, making commuting around the Isle of Wight straightforward. The property’s 845 sq ft footprint and two bathrooms add genuine appeal for first-time buyers or for use as a holiday home.
Practical points to note: the home is leasehold with 821 years remaining (no ground rent or other fees), council tax is low (Band B), and there’s a presumed lack of cavity wall insulation which could be improved to reduce heating costs. The local area is classified as ageing urban communities and shows higher-than-average crime and area deprivation indicators; buyers should weigh location benefits against these community factors.
Overall this is a well-presented, well-located period cottage that offers immediate liveability with scope for energy improvements and cosmetic updating. It suits a buyer seeking seaside living close to transport links, or an investor/holiday-owner wanting a ready-to-rent property in a popular coastal spot.
