Small plot; limited off-street parking unless permission granted

Located near Ventnor Downs and local schools, easy town-fringe access
This recently refurbished two-bedroom semi-detached cottage in Upper Ventnor is presented ready to move into, with a new kitchen, modern bathroom fittings and working mains gas central heating. Character features such as a flint Victorian façade and original room proportions combine with contemporary finishes to give immediate kerb appeal and comfortable living space across roughly 786 sq ft.
Outside, front and rear gardens are good-sized for the area and offer practical outdoor space, potential vegetable plots or extension opportunity (subject to consents). Neighbouring properties have converted front gardens into off-road parking, so a similar conversion here is possible but would require planning approval — no application has been submitted.
Practical considerations include a small plot size and slow broadband speeds, which may affect home-working or streaming. The property’s granite or whinstone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so further insulation work could be needed to maximise energy efficiency despite the new boiler and radiators.
Located at the foot of Ventnor Downs and within a short walk of The Island Free School and other local amenities, the cottage suits first-time buyers, downsizers or those seeking a lock-up-and-leave holiday base. Council tax is low and there is no flood risk recorded, but the local area shows signs of deprivation and average crime levels, so buyers should satisfy themselves about wider neighbourhood factors.
