Ventnor, Isle of Wight

Seller Insight

The parish of Chale stretches along the south coast of the island and inland along a sheltered central valley to Chale Green. It is classified as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), heritage coast and site of special scientific interest. The long boundary with the sea offers stunning views to the Needles, Tennyson downs and beyond, and the unspoilt wildness is widely considered a gem of the Isle of Wight landscape. What better way to enjoy this breathtaking landscape than along one of the many footpaths that abound this area.

This wonderful property is within easy distance of the renowned White Mouse Inn, which was once a favourite amongst both Royalty and smugglers alike, and now offers unrivalled views with great food and drink. A short drive will take you to the village of Niton, where you’ll find great pubs, cafés and two convenience stores – one of which has a post office, as well as a GP surgery and pharmacy, plus a highly sought after primary school and nursery. The number 6 bus runs through Chale, which will take you to Ventnor – a lovely seaside town bustling with high-end restaurants and boutique shops - and to Newport - the island’s principle town.”*

Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the delightful hamlet of Chale, occupying a generous one-acre plot is this wonderful, much extended and versatile five-bedroom property.

The ground floor is rather special, divided into two separate living accommodations, making it an ideal choice for a multigenerational family. The ‘annex’ consists of a fully fitted kitchen, living area, a shower room and a good-sized double bedroom, plus has the advantage of its own external rear access.

Access to the main house is via a lovely, light, spacious conservatory, and onwards through to a large hallway – currently used as a dining area - complete with gorgeous parquet effect flooring and stunning wood open staircase. Additionally, there are three further reception rooms comprising of a delightful breakfast room, with French doors to a patio in the incredible rear garden; a lovely light sitting room with a bay window and feature fireplace, and a study – another light room that enjoys dual aspect windows. This room is only separated by fitted bookshelves so should a buyer want a large sitting room this space is easily re-opened to create a large family space. To complete the ground floor accommodation is the recently updated, attractive kitchen, with an impressive dual fuel range cooker, integrated dishwasher, integrated fridge freezer and hardwearing countertops.

The first floor boasts four double bedrooms – two of which benefit from ensuite bathrooms – and a spacious family bathroom with separate bath and shower. All of the bedrooms have impressive views, whether you enjoy glimpses of the English Channel or over the surrounding countryside and St Catherines downs behind.

Outside to the front the property is set back slightly from the road by a large driveway, with ample parking for numerous vehicles. To the rear is a spectacular garden, spanning over an acre, comprising of a vegetable garden, flowerbeds, mature plants and trees, as well as a vast expanse of lawn, all surrounded by beautiful countryside and farmland.
