For Sale11 Bedroom House in Shanklin, Isle of Wight, PO37£570,000

A delightful 1930s guest house, with seven en suite guest bedrooms, provides an ideal opportunity if you are interested in taking over a successful bed and breakfast business. The property is in an excellent location as it overlooks Shanklin Bay and is only three minutes’ walk to the clifftop path and the steps down to the beach. At the same time it is not far to Shanklin Old Village and the award-winning Shanklin Chine. There is a wide frontage where you can park a number of cars and this leads to an entrance corridor with a distressed feature wall and shelving as well as a door to a games area that has access to the delightful sunroom where you can sit and relax or play with the children in the kiddies’ corner. A wide archway provides an open plan feel between the games area and the spacious dual aspect dining room where you can seat at least 20 people in comfort. The good sized kitchen has a range cooker and plenty of storage units as well as stand-alone appliances including two dishwashers, a fridge freezer and a separate fridge while still leaving space for a table and chairs. Beyond the kitchen is an important aspect of this property – the substantial owners’ accommodation. It includes a hall with independent external access, a spacious lounge with patio doors to a private garden with a terrace and large lawn, a shower room and an en-suite bathroom as well as four bedrooms which are all doubles with one being used as an office. Naturally this configuration could be altered to suit the requirements of new owners. On the first floor there are five bedrooms with flat screen TVs. Some of them have sea views including the large family room for four guests that has an en suite shower and a fridge and all the other four further double bedrooms have en-suite facilities and two of them can be twin or double beds. The two-family sized bedrooms for four guests on the second floor both have en-suite shower rooms, fridges and stunning sea views from one room, whilst the other offers lovely countryside views.
