Description

Set in a commanding, elevated position and with magnificent sea views, this six-bedroom Victorian home is grand in scale and has been sympathetically updated and upgraded throughout in a chic, coastal style.

Originally constructed as an imposing terrace of boarding houses in the mid-Victorian era, Southgrove Terrace retains an abundance of period grandeur and charm, with a glorious stone façade that is full of character. Number 5 has been considerately updated and today offers an enviable blend of elegant design and modern efficiency combined with fabulous period scale and features, which include open fireplaces, sash windows, cornicing, picture rails and deep skirting boards, and a magnificent staircase sweeping up from the impressive entrance hall. The generously proportioned accommodation is arranged over three floors and comprises of a welcoming entrance hall, a sitting room, which is open plan to a dining room, a modern kitchen, utility room and cloakroom on the ground floor, with three bedrooms, a shower room and a cloakroom on the first floor, and three further bedrooms and a bathroom on the top floor. Outside there is a glorious south facing terrace to the front aspect, private parking, and the property also benefits from a further garden area, which currently has approved planning for additional parking and the addition of a timber garden building.

Positioned in an elevated position, with the sea to the south and St Boniface Down to the north, which provides shelter from the cooling northerly breeze and allows Southgrove Terrace to benefit from the unique micro-climate which provides more sunny days than the rest of the Island, and once made Ventnor one of Britain’s most exclusive Victorian health resorts. Commonly referred to in the late 19th century as the 'English Mediterranean' and 'Mayfair by the Sea', Ventnor today retains the Victorian grandeur that made it famous, and is now enriched by fabulous restaurants, boutique shops, spectacular beaches and coastline, award winning parks and a thriving arts scene.
