Shanklin, Isle of Wight

Seller Insight

Shanklin is a charming, traditional seaside town, steeped in history but with all the advantages of modern conveniences as well. Hope beach is a stunning, sandy bay with traditional entertainments as well as bars and restaurants overlooking the sea. A short walk along the scenic Red Squirrel coastal path will take you to many more of Shanklin’s delights, such as Rylstone Gardens – a Victorian park with a bandstand, pitch and putt, café and colourful flower displays, and the beautiful natural landmark Shanklin Chine. There is also the picturesque Shanklin Old Village; lined with pretty thatched cottages housing traditional pubs, boutique shops, restaurants and tea rooms.

Shanklin is well serviced by public transport with seven bus routes taking you pretty much everywhere you might want to go including Ventnor, Newport, Ryde, Godshill, Brading and Bembridge. It also has the advantage of being on the Island line, with trains running to Ryde pierhead for the Fastcat service to Portsmouth.”*

Woodside

This stunning five-bedroom property is nestled in the heart of Shanklin, a popular seaside town on the east coast of the island.

The ground floor is divided into two separate living accommodations, making it an ideal choice for a multigenerational family. The ‘annex’ consists of a fully fitted kitchen, spacious living area, a shower room and a good-sized double bedroom, plus has the advantage of both internal and external access.

In the main house the sitting room is vast, and boasts triple aspect windows with sliding patio doors to the rear decking, stunning wood flooring and an attractive, feature fireplace. Leading directly on from here is the impressive conservatory; a large, bright space, ideal as an extra living room. On the opposite side of the hallway is the gorgeous kitchen, that boasts all one would expect from a modern kitchen, including space for a dishwasher, built in gas hob and double oven, as well as a fabulous, large island, beautiful stone floor tiles and patio doors leading to a raised decking area outside – perfect for alfresco dining. The open-plan dining area is another sizeable space and has a lovely feature fireplace. Leading off this area is a handy utility room.

The versatile first floor accommodation currently consists of five bedrooms, however one or more would be equally suitable as a study or playroom. The master bedroom is an excellent size and enjoys wonderful far-reaching views from the Juliet balcony, as does the second bedroom. Additionally, the master benefits from an ensuite shower room, whilst the remaining rooms share a family bathroom.

Outside is a good-sized garden, with a huge, raised deck that spans the entire length of the property and is home to a fabulous hot tub – an ideal spot to relax and take in the views of the pretty garden and countryside beyond. The garden also boasts a greenhouse and a large shed, plus a summer house that is equipped with a mini kitchen and shower room.

This property also benefits from solar panels, helping to keep energy costs to a minimum and an electric car charging point.
