A rare opportunity to acquire one of the most recognisable homes in Shanklin Old Village, Upperbrook is a highly attractive, detached thatched stone cottage dating from 1949, occupying a generous and beautifully situated plot of approximately 0.35 acres.

This landmark property sits peacefully on the edge of Shanklin Chine and offers the discerning buyer the chance to restore and enhance a home of real character and charm.

Approached via a storm porch and nestled behind mature planting, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity.

Internally, the accommodation is arranged across a single floor and includes two spacious double bedrooms, two bathrooms (including one en-suite), two reception rooms, and a separate kitchen.

While the home requires updating throughout, it provides an excellent canvas to create a bespoke residence with all main services already connected.

To the rear of the property is a sizeable garden, with a delightful outlook over Shanklin Chine's wooded slopes, offering peace and natural beauty in abundance.

A substantial detached garage is set over two storeys and, subject to the relevant planning permissions, would lend itself perfectly to conversion into a studio, annexe, or home office space, an increasingly sought-after feature in today's market.

Upperbrook is not a listed building, offering greater flexibility for renovation and potential extension. Properties of this calibre, in this setting, rarely come to market.
