For Sale3 Bedroom Detached House in St Lawrence, Isle of Wight, PO38£760,000

This delightful, three bedroom property on the outskirts of the historic coastal town of Ventnor, is situated in an elevated position affording stunning sea views across the English channel. Built on the grounds of the former St Lawrence Hall estate, home to Lord Jellicoe, it retains an artifact of the era with The Tea house in the garden, whilst at the same time having all the advantages of a modern home. With its spacious driveway, garage, and a pretty, tiered garden to the front, there’s much to appreciate here before even entering this impressive home. Once inside, there’s a spacious hallway, with lovely wood flooring that flows through seamlessly to the light and spacious lounge, that boasts two sets of patio doors, providing spectacular sea views from the comfort of your armchair, as well as access to a patio. Through an archway to a good-sized dining area, boasting the same, sea views from its own set of glass doors, and from here is the kitchen conveniently adjacent, towards the rear. This recently installed, Mackintosh kitchen is a chef’s dream, with all integrated, modern appliances, a high gloss finish on the copious units and a breakfast bar. At the end of the kitchen is access to another patio, in the rear garden – an ideal setting for alfresco dining.

The first-floor landing is bathed in natural light from the large picture window, which overlooks the garden. From the landing your eye is instantly drawn through bedrooms 1 and 2 which enjoy elevated 180-degree sea views. There are three double bedrooms in total, all benefitting from integrated storage. The rear bedroom has a lovely view of the garden and integrated storage with a hand basin. Also on this floor is the spacious family bathroom with both a walk-in shower cubicle, bathtub and bidet. The rear garden is a gardener’s delight, boasting a spectacular array of mature plants and trees, many of which have been cultivated from rare plants sourced from the renown botanical gardens, just a short walk away. Nestled in this gorgeous garden is the delightful, Victorian Tea house, which accompanied the tennis courts that were originally part of the St Lawrence Hall estate. This pretty piece of history has retained numerous original features, including tongue and groove walls and stained-glass windows, whilst also accommodating modern additions, such as electricity, wifi and water.
