This substantial Victorian detached house sits in the heart of Shanklin’s Old Village, moments from the beach, Rystone Gardens and the town centre. High ceilings and large reception rooms create an airy, versatile living space for family life, while three good-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms meet everyday needs. The property is freehold and unusually large at around 2,133 sq ft, offering immediate comfort and long-term scope.
A lower-ground level houses three large store rooms that present clear potential for conversion into additional living accommodation, home office or hobby space (subject to consents). The Mediterranean-style tiered rear gardens provide a sheltered, sun-friendly outdoor retreat that’s ideal for children and outdoor dining. Local coastal and cliff-top walks are on the doorstep, adding lifestyle appeal.
Buyers should note this is an older stone-built home (pre-1900) with walls likely uninsulated and double glazing fitted post-2002. The building’s period character brings charm but also maintenance and refurbishment needs if you want modern thermal efficiency or to convert the lower ground rooms. Parking is on-street only.
The wider area scores as deprived with above-average local crime statistics; shortlist this home if you value village location, sea access and character over a fully modernised turnkey property. Good nearby primary and secondary schools make the house practical for families prepared to invest in updating and finishing conversion work.
