Douglas End Institute Hill | Niton | Isle of Wight | PO38 2BA
Seller Insight The private and tranquil setting immediately attracted us to the property. With over an acre of land to enjoy, yet just 10 minutes from the beach and a short drive to nearby Ventnor, Douglas End blends the privacy we were looking for, alongside being handy for amenities. Niton itself is a friendly and popular village to the west of Ventnor. With a nearby school and range of amenities, the area has all your essentials within walking distance. Ventnor is one of the Isle of Wight’s star attractions, as it’s one of the most popular seaside resorts on the island, boasting its own unique ‘micro-climate’. But aside from popular beaches and the harbour, the local fishing community of Ventnor ensures some of the UK’s best seafood – the local crab is a must. The award-winning Victorian Ventnor Park is also worth visiting, as this leads onto the Ventnor Botanic Garden at the Undercliff. And not forgetting Steephill Cove, said to be the most relaxing beach on the island. With a range of popular walking, cycling and running routes in Niton, the lovers of the great outdoors will appreciate the rugged beauty of the area – for those that like to ‘do’, Niton and the wider area of the Isle of Wight delivers. We’ll certainly miss the privacy and beautiful views every morning and the convenience of having the local amenities to hand.”*

Step inside Douglas End
Offered chain free, with spectacular views of Portsmouth’s Spinnaker Tower in the distance and views onto St. Catherine’s Down, Douglas End’s aesthetics are mesmerising. Situated on an acre of land itself, the freedom this property allows, is perfect those desiring space. Situated on a smallholding farm, that feeling of privacy resonates, and the pretty white property, which is a detached four bedroom, sits imposingly for you to enjoy. With space for four cars on the drive, externally the property also as a garden with potential. With a patio/decking area that is sunlit all day, entertaining options are aplenty. And with the green for the children to enjoy, for those that value outdoor options for family life, this delivers. Interestingly, another welcome feature is the good-sized outbuilding – whether a workshop, office unit or ‘man cave’ is your poison, there are a good deal of development opportunities in-store. Upon entering this pretty modern square build ‘white house’, Douglas End is wonderfully unique, and different to many properties of its calibre. The contemporary yet homely feel, immediately puts you at ease. With attached breakfast area, the kitchen is a wonderful space to prepare meals. Whether that’s entertaining friends or family, or a quick coffee and pancakes at the breakfast bar before work, Douglas End provides the options. And with separate dining room in wonderfully modern ‘shabby chic’ style and contemporary lounge areas, whether it’s entertaining, a cosy night in with the family or celebrating special memories, every eventuality is catered for. Let’s not forget the handy utility room area and downstairs bathroom, two welcome additions. Moving upstairs, there are four good sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. And with the growing move towards homeworking, there is the option to convert one of the bedrooms into an office. A memorable home that more than matches its beautiful exterior.
