Property description
On the market for the first time in 60 years this spectacular Ventnor town cottage is sure to generate a huge amount of interest.
In need of complete refurbishment throughout the cottage offers huge potential to anyone looking for a project and is not shy of rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck in. With accommodation arranged over three floors you might be tempted to play around with the layout and create a bespoke property fit for your own requirements. With 3 good sized bedrooms and 2 living rooms there is certainly no shortage of possibilities and with the right design you could even incorporate the courtyard to bring some outside space inside! With so much potential and work to get done why not take a break and stroll down into town for a relaxing drink or bite to eat in one of Ventnor’s many bars, cafes and restaurants. You’ll be spoilt for choice and if you have time check out the beach and harbour where the kids can go crabbing while you enjoy an ice cream.
Opportunities to buy such a fabulous home close to the town with the added benefit of outside space and parking are very rare so jump in now and secure your very own ‘grand design’ project.
Purchaser NB – In Dec 2012 this property was subject to an insurance claim for subsidence due to the failure of the rear retaining wall. Works to rectify this have now been fully completed under the guidance of a structural engineer and all paperwork can be inspected within our office upon request.

This house has been in my family for over 60 years and in that time has provided a warm and loving environment to bring up generations of our family. Whilst the house now requires modernisation the property could be transformed into a wonderful home once more. We recently carried out work on the retaining wall to the back which had to be rebuilt after the storms of 2012. Now the work is completed the wall is as good as new and you can admire the views from the top of the garden over Ventnor and towards the sea. People comment on how attractive the house is and how lucky we are to have parking so close to town. You can also literally walk to the shops within minutes.
