Highfield Road, Shanklin, PO37 6PP

This rare turnkey hospitality and lifestyle opportunity combines a fully operational commercial wing with an exceptional private owners' residence, offering a unique proposition for buyers seeking both a profitable business and luxurious living.

Situated in one of Shanklin's most desirable and tranquil areas, the property is moments from the Old Village, its renowned eateries, charming, thatched cottages, scenic countryside, and the picturesque chine walk leading to the sandy beach.

The commercial accommodation features 11 beautifully presented en suite double rooms on a split level first floor, each equipped with modern self check in door tags for guest convenience.

A newly installed lift enhances accessibility throughout this level.

A separate two bedroom manager's apartment, with its own private entrance yet internal connection to the main building, offers flexibility for staff use or additional letting income.

On the ground floor, the commercial wing includes a well equipped commercial kitchen and upgraded plant room, alongside a manager's office and welcoming reception area.

The facilities have been meticulously maintained, enabling a new owner to begin trading immediately with confidence in both quality and operational efficiency.

What elevates this property far beyond typical hospitality offerings is the exceptional private owners' accommodation.

A substantial portion of the ground floor has been transformed into a high specification family home, featuring expansive open plan living spaces, a luxurious principal suite with twin dressing rooms and a spa inspired en suite, and an impressive indoor swimming pool that has undergone a full refurbishment.

Additional amenities include a private gym and a newly added wrap around veranda overlooking beautifully landscaped, owner exclusive gardens.

The showpiece living area centres around a bespoke fitted kitchen with extensive cabinetry, a striking granite topped island, premium appliances including an Aga range with double ovens, induction hob, integrated dishwasher, full height fridge and freezer, and built in microwave.

This flows into a designated dining area and a bow parlour sitting room with panoramic garden views. Externally, the property offers extensive parking for guests and residents.

What the Owner says: After viewing several French Chateaux and Manor Houses, and walking away from huge cold unwelcoming buildings, far too many acres of land, and a complex and very expensive French tax system, we found this property.

Still a short ferry crossing away, but quintessentially English and stunningly attractive.

This property has wrap around mainly south facing semi-tropical Mediterranean style mature gardens and lots of private parking.

It's a pleasure sitting in the gardens or the living room quietly watching red squirrels running across the lawn and numerous types of birds flitting around.

The Big Mead park supports lots of English wildlife.

We saw an opportunity with this property to adapt, improve and enjoy this unique place as a large private residence to gather family and friends, sharing unforgettable moments in this incredibly lovely location, but also to provide a lucrative and flexible income.

A great opportunity to combine our work and living space in an exceptional location with strong income development, and potential to suit our lifestyle.

This property does offer so many options, detached and unspoiled, a lovely spacious home, a part/full time guest house business, or for extended families, its opportunities are numerous.

This property is nicely located in Shanklin Old Village, within easy reach of shops, restaurants, country walks, a lovely park and a few minutes' walk to the beach.

Highfield Road is unspoiled and very quiet without road noise and disturbance.
