Bonchurch Shute, Bonchurch, Isle of Wight, PO38 1NU

This stunning Victorian villa is situated in the coastal village of Bonchurch, a location renowned for its picturesque beauty and charming atmosphere.

The village gained popularity during the Victorian era, when its favourable microclimate and dramatic southerly coastline attracted many fine houses and villas, with notable figures such as Charles Dickens and Algernon Swinburne frequenting the area.

Bonchurch retains its village character, with a local pub, an 11th-century church, and access to scenic footpaths that lead to the beautiful Monks Bay and nearby coastal walks.

The adjacent town of Ventnor offers a range of amenities, including beachfront bars, restaurants, a fish market, and the famous Botanic Gardens.

This elegant home is believed to have been built around 1850 and offers a spacious and elegant stone residence set across three floors, designed to maximise the spectacular southerly views over the surrounding gardens and the English Channel.

The property is situated in a secluded and elevated position, ensuring both privacy and panoramic vistas.

The villa retains many original period features, exuding timeless charm, and provides excellent living spaces with an abundance of natural light.

The property is approached via a pair of wrought-iron gates mounted on stone pillars, leading to a gravelled driveway that provides parking for several cars.

The south and east-facing gardens are beautifully secluded, with a large lawned area offering delightful views of the sea.

The gardens are framed by well-stocked borders and an attractive stone retaining wall to the rear, ensuring both privacy and shelter.

There is also a small ornamental pond, a greenhouse, and a timber store.
