Walking distance of the characterful High Street and Esplanade, Ventnor is a charming town with plenty of boutique shops, cafes and restaurants to choose from. You'll not only find the coast on your doorstep but also some wonderful countryside such as St Boniface Downs.

The property offers low maintenance living in terms of its outside space, driveway parking and yet provides southerly aspect with fantastic views over the English Channel.

Internally you'll find the local, well regarded builder has fitted excellent finishings from the beautiful kitchen and bathroom to the living space and Master bedroom which overlooks that wonderful sea view.
