4 bedroom detached house for sale

This elegant detached villa, originally built in 1924, is set behind solid wooden gates within beautifully landscaped gardens extending to approximately half an acre. Located on the outskirts of the highly desirable Shanklin Old Village and within easy walking distance of the renowned Rylstone Gardens, the property enjoys a prime position that combines privacy with convenience. The home offers a harmonious blend of period character and modern refinement, making it an exceptional family residence. The current owner has undertaken an extensive programme of refurbishment and remodelling, thoughtfully reconfiguring the original five- or six-bedroom layout into a luxurious four double bedroom home. The first floor is particularly impressive, featuring three well-proportioned bedroom suites, each with its own contemporary en-suite bathroom. The principal suite also benefits from a spacious dressing room, providing a private and elegant retreat.

Accessed via an enclosed period porch, the accommodation opens into a welcoming entrance hallway. A striking glazed veranda wraps around the front of the property, allowing an abundance of natural light to flow throughout the interior while also offering a covered seating area from which to enjoy the home's favoured south-easterly aspect.

The ground floor provides extensive and versatile living space, ideal for both family living and entertaining. There are four generously sized reception rooms, including a main sitting room overlooking the eastern gardens, two front-facing rooms enjoying a sunny southerly aspect currently used as a dining room and family lounge, and a further reception space offering flexibility of use. A ground floor double bedroom opens directly onto the veranda, making it well suited for guests or multi-generational living, with a cloakroom conveniently located nearby. The well-appointed kitchen features a range of neutral units and contrasting work surfaces, opening via double doors into a bright conservatory used as a breakfast room with garden views. Additional ground floor amenities include a utility and plant room, a home office, and an integral double garage. Externally, the gardens are a standout feature, offering formal lawns, mature trees, well-stocked borders, an enclosed courtyard, a timber summer house, and ample driveway parking.

What the Owner says:
I have lived very happily in this house for over 25 years, and it has been a truly special place to call home.

Set in an idyllic, peaceful location, it offers beautiful, extensive walks right on the doorstep, perfect for dog lovers, with the added pleasure of easy access to the Old Village. The picturesque Shanklin Chine is just a few minutes walk away, leading down to the beach along one of the prettiest routes on the island.

What I will miss most are the wonderful neighbours and the strong sense of community – leaving will be incredibly hard.
