A rare double-fronted residence on Shanklin Esplanade, literally a stone’s throw from the beach, this substantial four-bedroom house offers panoramic views across the English Channel from its front terrace. The property is unusually large (approx. 2,939 sq ft) with generous reception space, two kitchens, multiple bathrooms and extensive stores — a flexible layout that suits a family home, multi‑occupancy or a holiday‑let conversion subject to consent.
The house retains period character (Victorian bay windows, rustic stone fireplace and arched doorways) but will suit a buyer happy to invest in refurbishment. Double glazing is fitted but predates 2002; heating is mixed (mains gas boiler to parts of the house, plus room heaters and electric). Useful practical features include a covered double carport, roof terrace over the carport and several store rooms. Council Tax is low (Band B), and mains services are connected.
There is clear commercial potential — previous uses include a tea garden and public house — so with the correct planning and safety consents the property could be split into holiday lets, run as an income property, or retained as a large single residence. Buyers should be aware of material considerations: the property was constructed 1900–1929 so will need careful inspection and likely upgrading; glazing is older; the plot is relatively small; the local area records above‑average crime rates and higher deprivation metrics. Early viewing recommended to assess scope and condition.
