Madeira Road, Ventnor

Boasting panoramic sea views, this fabulous 4 to 5 bedroom Victorian family home exudes character and space, offering flexible accommodation, and a beautiful terraced garden planted with tropical and sub-tropical plants.

Having been a loving family home for the last ten years, the property has been sympathetically updated over the years whilst keeping many of the traditional features in place. Boasting sea views from almost every room in the house, the accommodation comprises a porch leading into a large entrance hall providing access to three reception rooms, the staircase to the first floor, and to the rear hall.

The nearby high street of Ventnor, which is within short walking distance from the property, has a fabulous range of boutique shops, fine eateries and supermarkets, and regular bus services that run through to both Newport and Ryde. Ventnor is renowned for its bustling arts scene with the Isle of Wight’s award-winning Ventnor Fringe Festival that takes place every summer, and the Ventnor Botanic Garden which has over 23 acres of wide-open spaces containing rare, subtropical plants and trees which flourish in the unique microclimate enjoyed on the south coast of the Isle of Wight. The property is surrounded by an abundance of local Victorian history and is conveniently located for magnificent coastal walks and numerous beaches. The promenade is located within a stone’s throw from the property and provides breathtaking coastal walks towards Horseshoe Bay in one direction and the popular beach of Ventnor in the opposite direction, with its beautiful golden sands and vintage beach huts offering the perfect place to spend a blissful day at the beach. The coastal path continues to Luccombe Chine and as far as Shanklin and Sandown or towards the hidden gem of Steepill Cove in the opposite direction.
