An opulent coastal home with a beautifully designed garden, set in the heart of Shanklin a stone’s throw from the glistening Isle of Wight shoreline. This impressive property is the ideal base for a family retreat or friends gathering with a couple of waggy-tailed companions in tow. Traverse past trickling waterfalls and through lush green vegetation at Shanklin Chine (200 metres), before finding tranquillity in the heat of your private infrared sauna.
This magnificent abode boasts a luxurious interior with creamy white and champagne tones, bleached wooden textures, and breezy seascape artwork. Towel down sandy paws and shrug off outer layers in the hallway then pad into the open-plan kitchen/diner. Pour a chilled glass of vino and potter in the glossy kitchen or perch at the breakfast bar to thumb through a local guidebook. Feast around the circular dining table bathed in the glow of the industrial standing lamp. Retire to the elegant lounge and recline on the sprawling corner sofa. Prize open the tin of chocolates and snuggle in with a film on the Smart TV while your worn-out pup snoozes by your feet. Completing the downstairs is a handy WC. As the night draws in, ascend the stairs to find three inviting coastal-inspired bedrooms. Slide into the crisp sheets of two kings or an airy bunk. Outside, take your pick of leisure activity. Sweat it out in the sauna, lounge on the rattan garden furniture, fire up the BBQ grill, or treat Fido to an unforgettable stay in the exquisite ‘dog playhouse’.
Brave an invigorating dip in the gently lapping waters of Shanklin Beach (700 metres) or stroll alongside the thatched-roof dwellings populating Shanklin Old Village (within 300 metres). Further afield, drink in sweeping ocean vistas as you amble along the coastal path towards Ventor (4 miles).
