*CHAIN FREE* Occupying an enviable position in a highly sought after location, this substantial three bedroom apartment has been thoughtfully designed and completely renovated to an exceptional standard throughout.

With a rich history, 25A is on the first floor of a grand Victorian stone-built villa which enjoys a sheltered position beneath St Boniface Down and benefits from spectacular southerly sea views over the English Channel. Extensively and sympathetically restored, renovated and upgraded by the current owner with no expense spared., this elegant apartment is beautifully presented throughout, in a style which enhances the period beauty of the building and reflects its coastal location. Some of the upgrades include reinstating the original high ceilings, a beautiful new kitchen and two new bathrooms, all with underfloor heating, a roof overhaul, new plumbing and electrics. The apartment has also been professionally decorated throughout, complete with new carpets and tiled floors. The location, and in particular the proximity to the coast, is particularly popular for investment and holiday letting. The apartment has no restrictions on short term letting and could be sold furnished subject to separate negotiation.

Situated in an idyllic coastal location between the village of Bonchurch, one of the oldest settlements on the Isle of Wight, and the vibrant town of Ventnor, the apartment is surrounded by an abundance of local Victorian history and conveniently located for magnificent walks and nearby beaches.

The rugby, tennis and cricket clubs are also within walking distance.
