End terrace house for sale in Seven Sisters Road, Ventnor PO38

A characterful cottage providing particularly light accommodation with a south facing garden and sea views in addition to a versatile chalet

The Haven

Originating as a Victorian stable block with apple stores above for nearby St Rhadagunds, this attractive period building was later converted into a lovely end of terrace cottage. It benefits from wonderfully light and characterful accommodation with high ceilings on the ground floor. Original features such as the dressed stonework and hook for raising apples into the upper floor remain. The property has been improved in recent years with the installation of aluminium framed windows and doors in 2023 and a new bathroom with Heritage fittings. The large south facing garden with sea glimpses provides an idyllic setting whilst the cabin to the far end of the garden includes a large decked terrace from which the sea views can be enjoyed.

The cottage is situated in a sheltered south facing position within the popular coastal village of St Lawrence. There is direct easy access to the nearby rustic coastline and many impressive coastal and country walks including various coves and bays. The village has a local grocery shop and the neighbouring town of Ventnor provides various amenities, such as individual shops, a doctor’s surgery, an array of fine eateries and a superb, sheltered beach. The area is renowned for having a warm and sunny micro-climate with the Ventnor Botanic Gardens nearby.
