Set on an elevated spot in Ventnor, this two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage opens onto a pleasing view of the English Channel. The house offers a traditional stone façade and a compact rear garden — ideal for low-maintenance outdoor space and enjoying seaside air. Its position places beaches and the Botanic Garden within easy walking distance.
Internally the layout is straightforward: lounge, kitchen/diner, bathroom plus a separate W/C and two bedrooms across multi-storey floors, totalling about 958 sq ft. The property is being sold as a renovation project; many original mid‑20th century fittings remain and the house will benefit from updating to modern standards, including insulation and an improved heating system.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, very low council tax, mains gas supply and excellent mobile and fast broadband connectivity — useful for remote working or keeping in touch. Notable drawbacks are its renovation requirement, assumed uninsulated granite/whinstone walls, small plot size, and location within a relatively deprived wider area. This cottage will suit a buyer seeking a seaside project or a downsizer wanting coastal proximity with scope to add value.
