Set behind elegant electric wrought iron gates and approached via a sweeping driveway, this exceptional stone-built residence occupies approximately 1.37 acres of beautifully established grounds, offering an enviable combination of privacy, heritage and versatility. Originally serving as the coach house to Shanklin Manor, the property is now offered to the market for the first time, presenting a rare opportunity to own a home rich in character in one of the Island's most sought-after settings. Perfectly positioned on the edge of the picturesque Old Village, the property enjoys a wonderfully secluded atmosphere while remaining within an easy stroll of charming, thatched cottages, independent restaurants, boutique shops and the spectacular cliff-top walks that define this beautiful coastal location. Nearby parkland, complete with its tranquil duck pond, further enhances the idyllic lifestyle on offer. Inside, the accommodation is both elegant and welcoming, with generous reception rooms designed for family living and entertaining. Period details including an open fireplace, ornate ceiling roses, decorative coving and exposed stonework blend effortlessly with practical modern comforts, while large windows frame delightful views across the mature gardens. The ‘Sheraton’ fitted kitchen forms the heart of the home, complemented by spacious living areas that flow naturally from one to another, creating a wonderful sense of warmth and flexibility. Leisure and wellbeing are at the forefront of this remarkable home. A dedicated entertainment wing incorporates a conservatory-style family room, games room and gym, leading to an indoor heated swimming pool with adjoining sauna and sun lounge. While the pool complex would benefit from some updating to its mechanical systems, it represents an exciting opportunity to create an outstanding private leisure suite. The first floor provides well-proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite with adjoining dressing room and en-suite shower room, alongside comfortable family accommodation that enjoys peaceful views across the surrounding gardens. Adding another dimension to the estate is the impressive, detached barn, a characterful building that has previously operated as a tearoom and function venue. Complete with vaulted beamed ceilings, a striking fireplace, bar area, fitted kitchen and additional accommodation, it offers exceptional potential for entertaining, creative ventures, holiday accommodation or multi-generational living, subject to any necessary consents. Outside, the grounds are every bit as captivating as the house itself. Enclosed by traditional walls, the gardens feature sweeping lawns, magnificent mature trees, colourful planting, charming seating terraces and a gently flowing stream that meanders through the landscape before feeding the neighbouring park pond. A beautiful weeping willow, carefully curated borders and the picturesque spire of St Blasius Church provide an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons, while subtle evening lighting transforms the gardens into an enchanting setting after sunset. Practicality is equally well considered, with two substantial double garages with remote controlled electric doors, a brick-built potting shed and garden store, both with power and water, ample parking and gas central heating throughout. Combining historic charm, outstanding lifestyle amenities and exciting future potential, this is an extraordinary country residence that offers a truly unique way of life within moments of the coast.
