Property description
An architecturally interesting property thought to date from the 1830s with unusual shaped rooms and much period detailing. Grade II listed, Under Rock offers a potential purchaser an interesting and rewarding project to continue and complete the renovation work that the current owner has undertaken.
Once completed the property will be a joy to live in, the home and gardens enjoy privacy and a feeling of seclusion due to its south facing aspect within its mature well planted botanical style gardens.
The accommodation is sizeable and flexible and could be
arranged to offer as much as five reception rooms in addition to the kitchen/breakfast room and seven bedrooms, if a prospective purchaser so required.
The dramatic driveway winds through the local geology and opens onto Shore Road, which leads down to the nearby beaches and coastal path and gives pedestrian access to the town of Ventnor. There is a good selection of shops in the town, both locally owned boutique and high street stores, restaurants, primary and secondary schools, beaches and harbour.
