This spacious three-bedroom split-level maisonette offers classic Victorian character with striking sea views from its principal rooms. High ceilings, original wooden floors and sash windows give the home a warm, period feel while an open-plan lounge/dining area leads out to a distinctive two-tier balcony with a spiral staircase and upper hideaway.
Practical benefits include off-road parking for two to three cars, mains gas central heating and a 109-year lease with low ground rent (£15). At about 828 sq ft the layout suits a downsizer or small family seeking a seaside base within a short walk of Ventnor town centre and local amenities.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property and has just one shower room. The building dates from before 1900 and external walls are assumed to be uninsulated sandstone/limestone, so further insulation or upgrades may be needed for modern energy performance. The local area scores high for crime and is classified as very deprived, which will be relevant for some purchasers.
Overall, Little Chelsea is a characterful, well-located home that combines seaside views and generous living space with clear renovation and location considerations. Ideal for those who value period charm and proximity to town but who are prepared to manage improvement works and leasehold ownership.
