Large character property near Shanklin seafront, ideal for retirement conversion or guest use.
12 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms — former B&B layout
A substantial detached Edwardian residence offering 12 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms across generous accommodation, well suited to retirement living, multi-occupancy or continued guest-house use. The property sits on a large plot with a private garden and garage, within easy reach of Shanklin town and the seafront. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support modern connectivity needs.
Built circa 1900–1929, the house retains period character—high ceilings, large windows and red brick frontage—but requires modernization in places. Walls are cavity construction with no added insulation assumed; upgrading heating controls, insulation and some fittings would improve comfort and running costs. The layout reflects its former B&B use, giving flexible room configurations but likely needing adaptation for single-household retirement living.
Location strengths include low local crime, nearby good-rated primary and secondary schools, and a wide range of amenities from healthcare to leisure and eateries. The property is freehold and chain-free, and there is no flooding risk recorded. Note the wider area shows signs of deprivation, which may affect local services and long-term resale considerations.
For a buyer seeking spacious, characterful accommodation near the coast, this offers strong potential: immediate occupation with some updates, conversion back to a private family home, or continued use as a guest house or residential care setting subject to necessary permissions and works.
