Seller Insight
Whilst looking for a property on the Isle of Wight, this house was last on my list of houses to view. As I entered the property it very quickly became the one I wanted. I immediately felt at home and the layout was perfect for making the most of the amazing views. Although it doesn’t look too big in size from the outside, once you’re in, it’s like a Tardis.
The property has been absolutely ideal for me as I enjoy downstairs living and leave the upstairs to my many visitors. The two front bedrooms having pretty much un- interrupted sea views and the back bedroom overlooking the garden up to the downs.
Most tradesmen that have come to this property, walk up the drive, turn around and almost always make the same comment; “WOW, what a fantastic view you have” *

Step inside Foxdells
Tucked between the charming town of Ventnor and the picturesque village of Bonchurch, this beautifully positioned detached chalet bungalow offers an unrivalled combination of privacy, stunning sea views to the front and the natural beauty of the Ventnor Downs to the rear. Set at the end of a gated driveway, this home provides a peaceful retreat while remaining conveniently close to local amenities.
This delightful property enjoys breathtaking sea views from all its south-facing rooms, ensuring a constant connection with the stunning coastal scenery. The substantial rear garden, backing onto the Ventnor Downs—an area of National Trust land teeming with wildlife—adds to the home’s sense of tranquillity and seclusion. At the front, thoughtfully landscaped Mediterranean-style gardens flourish in the Island’s mild climate, adding to the property’s charm. A sweeping driveway offers ample parking, complemented by a single garage with a workshop / utility area at the back, complete with a sink and space for washing machine, and perfect for storing bikes, or water sports equipment.
Upon entering, a welcoming hallway leads into the heart of the home; a light-filled dining hall where large windows frame enchanting views of the rear garden and rolling Downs. Adjacent to this space, the well-appointed kitchen features an array of sleek wall and base units, topped with luxurious granite work surfaces. Modern appliances include an inset 1½ bowl sink and drainer, an induction hob, and an eyelevel electric oven. A large window overlooks the rear backdrop, while a side door provides convenient garden access.
The lounge is a standout feature, offering a cozy yet elegant space with dual-aspect windows and a fitted wood burner, perfect for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Bi-folding doors seamlessly connect this room to the conservatory, a bright and airy retreat
with glazing on three sides, allowing uninterrupted sea views. From here, step directly onto the southfacing patio—an idyllic spot for alfresco dining or simply soaking in the mesmerizing coastal panorama.
The principal bedroom, located on the ground floor, is a serene sanctuary. This spacious double room boasts a unique porthole window and double doors that open onto the patio, allowing you to wake up to the sight of the sea. A stylish family bathroom, featuring a bath, wc, washbasin, contemporary floor with underfloor heating and wall tiling, completes this level.
The first floor offers three additional bedrooms, each with its own character and charm. Bedroom four is a delightful single or bunk room with eaves storage and picturesque sea views. Bedroom three, a comfortable double, overlooks the rear garden and open countryside.
The second bedroom is a spacious double, benefiting from dual-aspect windows that capture the sweeping sea views. An en-suite shower room, complete with a quadrant shower cubicle, wc, and washbasin, provides additional convenience and privacy.
The outdoor areas are just as impressive as the interiors. The front garden is beautifully landscaped with mature shrubs and trees, while a raised patio offers the perfect vantage point to enjoy the magnificent coastal views. The rear garden is a haven of greenery, featuring steps leading up to a lush lawn and a summer house. Nature lovers will delight in the countless walking trails and breathtaking scenery right on the doorstep.
This lovely home combines comfort, and a convenient location. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful coastal retreat or an active outdoor lifestyle, this property offers the best of both worlds.
