This magnificent and historically unique property with an impressive contemporary design and breathtaking coastal views is perfect for friends or extended families wanting to gather for a memorable celebration. Located on the south coast of the Isle of Wight below St Lawrence, you are next to a Site of Scientific Interest and yet are just 2.5 miles from vibrant Ventnor. Ventnor, once a Victorian health resort, boasts a sand-and-shingle beach with vintage beach huts, beautiful botanical gardens, and coast path walks with stunning views.
This gorgeous property, set over two levels, is approached via a private lane. Built into the hillside against the dramatic backdrop of the Undercliff escarpment, the house is a former RAF radar station, now beautifully converted into a spacious, contemporary home. Serve up a feast in the kitchen/diner, which has all the appliances to make meal preparation a breeze. Dine at the table, or the breakfast bar – both boast extraordinary views. From the kitchen/diner, a curving set of concrete steps leads down to the spacious lounge, with comfortable seats and a large wood burner, perfect for socialising, enjoying the incredible vistas and cosying up on a cool evening. On this level, along the corridor, you reach the Bunker itself. This space is now a huge sitting area/lounge with a piano and an industrial-sized wood-burning stove and offers exquisite sunset views. The first floor is home to three bedrooms - two super-king size and one double - and two bathrooms. A separate annexe close to the main house has a further double bedroom, kitchen, shower room and decking area. Outside is an acre of open land with a wraparound garden, encompassing areas of lawn, a patio, outdoor furniture and two fire pits - perfect for outdoor entertaining. There is ample private parking.
For those who love the outdoors, head to Tennyson Down (18 miles) and walk to breathtaking views of The Needles. Children will have a wonderful day at Tapnell Farm Park (16 miles), an all-weather attraction. Discover some of the Island’s heritage at Carisbrooke Castle (10.5 miles); climb the castle walls and check for family events during the year.
