Set high above Bonchurch on a double-width plot, this detached four-bedroom chalet delivers panoramic sea and downland views and substantial garden space. The house has multiple reception rooms and a sunny front terrace that take full advantage of the outlook, plus generous off‑road parking accessed from a long driveway. A fully insulated timber cabin with power and broadband is already installed and well suited to a home office or studio.
Practical benefits include planning permission granted on 06/09/2024 (Ref: 24/01058/HOU), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The versatile, traditional layout offers scope for reconfiguration or extension to suit family living or long-term coastal retirement. The tiered rear gardens rise to National Trust downland, providing privacy and attractive walking access.
Buyers should note some important considerations: there is one family bathroom serving four bedrooms, the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and some energy-efficiency improvements are likely needed. Double glazing is older (installed before 2002), and the property dates from the late 1960s–1970s, so updates to heating, insulation and general modernisation should be expected. Council tax is described as expensive.
Overall this is a characterful seaside home with strong lifestyle appeal and clear renovation potential. It will suit a family seeking space and views, those wanting a coastal base with home‑working facilities, or buyers planning a sympathetic update to add value using the recently approved planning consent.
