Description
The Beach House is an impressive home to enjoy a family beachside holiday from.
The open plan 1st floor living space has an elevated dining area up a couple of steps, looking down over the kitchen and living area. The kitchen is modern and well-equipped and is ideally set out for sociable events and gatherings. Once the large sliding patio doors are opened onto the sun terrace the true ambience of this room comes to life. The outside dining area for 6 is partially screened and has glass and stainless steel balustrades for safety. Sea views can be enjoyed from here looking east and west. There is parking outside for two good-sized vehicles.
Initially a small fishing settlement, Ventnor grew into a thriving Victorian seaside spa resort due to its microclimate, generated from its south-facing position and the shelter of the downs behind the town. The old sanitorium is now home to Ventnor Botanical Gardens and visitors are attracted by Ventnor’s arts and restaurant scene as much as by its picturesque views and mild climate. Short walks will take you the adjacent villages of Bonchurch and its Inn for Sunday lunch, or Steephill Cove for a local crab sandwich. Venturing a little further will take you to Appuldurcombe House, with gardens designed by Capability Brown, or to picturesque Godshill, with its model village, both within a fifteen-minute drive.
In addition to the island’s beaches, family days out can include Blackgang Chine theme park, the activities at Tapnell Farm, or seeing big cats and monkeys at the Island’s animal sanctuaries. Activity lovers can walk any or all of the 67-mile coast path, cycle country lanes, or hire SUPs or kayaks at nearby Steephill Cove.
