Set on the Esplanade with uninterrupted sea views, this imposing Victorian detached home blends period character with generous living space. Wide windows, high ceilings and two reception rooms create an airy, comfortable setting for relaxed coastal living. The balcony and large sun terrace give direct spots to watch tides and sunsets.
Practical benefits include a large garage, ample driveway parking and four well-proportioned bedrooms, so the house works for downsizers wanting space for visitors or for those seeking a home office and guest room. It’s a short walk from Shanklin town centre and the train station, so shops, cafés and transport are within easy reach.
Buyers should note the property’s age: sandstone walls are likely uninsulated and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so draft-proofing and insulation upgrades may be required to improve comfort and running costs. Several services are unconfirmed and none of the appliances or systems have been tested. Council Tax is band E and the local area records above-average crime and signs of deprivation — important factors for budget and security planning.
Overall this is a character-filled coastal house with strong lifestyle appeal and scope to modernise. It suits buyers seeking a prominent seaside home with good outdoor entertaining space who are prepared to invest in insulation, glazing or mechanical checks to bring the property up to modern standards.
