## Description

Something  special, and should be viewed, if you want to experience Ventnor’s unique seaside atmosphere.  A very rare opportunity to purchase a charming, spacious, high ceilinged, two bedroom apartment, in this prestigious location on the Ventnor coast. Not only sea views, but you can drink in the wonderful sea air. The apartment has just been refurbished, to a high standard with new bathroom and kitchen and decorated throughout. A very short walk, on the level to Ventnor’s lively town centre with its numerous eateries and interesting shops. Being directly on the coast it is only a very short walk down to Ventnor beach and charming sea front. Hideaway Steephill Cove, Wheeler`s Bay and Bonchurch are also within traffic-free walking distance along the beautiful coast. The French-windows of the lounge open onto a sheltered south facing terrace and small garden. The flat also has another larger sheltered garden with special coastal atmosphere, just asking for a summer house. The apartment has one allocated parking space on private Devonshire Terrace and a garage/storage space for gardening and beach paraphernalia. There are private entrances onto Devonshire Terrace and Dudley Road. Public transport is just round the corner.
