Inglewood Park, St. Lawrence

A beautifully presented, modern three-bedroom home, nestled in an elevated position in the historic, sought-after Inglewood Park in St Lawrence, and comes complete with spectacular sea views.

Originally constructed in 1969 on the grounds of the historic former St Lawrence Hall estate, 12 Inglewood Park has been updated and exceptionally well maintained, today offering a modern home, ready to move into. Perfectly blending the enchanting Victorian character of the plot, and the chic, mid-century design of the house which has been upgraded with high quality contemporary finishes, the property benefits from well-proportioned rooms and an abundance of glazing, filling the home with fabulous light and making the most of the stunning views. A charming and substantial summerhouse in the garden was reportedly used as a tea-house for St Lawrence Hall, serving the gentry and guests for its owner, Admiral of the Fleet Lord Jellicoe during the late Victorian period, and now provides a magical light-filled studio space. The property has a flowing, versatile floorplan which offers an opportunity to be configured to suit a new owners requirements, with the tea-house offering further potential and a large loft space which could provide further living space (subject to any necessary consents). Accommodation comprises an entrance porch, hallway, lounge/snug, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, sunroom and a cloakroom and lobby on the ground floor, three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, and a garage and boot room/store area on the lower ground floor.

Inglewood Park offers the perfect balance of peaceful surroundings and convenient access to amenities, and the location benefits from the famous Ventnor microclimate, sheltered from the cool northerly winds by St Boniface Down. Set in an elevated position with breathtaking sea views, the property is just a short distance from the charming village of St Lawrence, which has a post office, two churches and a village hall, as well as stunning coastal walks. The nearby town of Ventnor, only two miles away, provides independent shops, cafes, and fine dining, as well as the Island's southernmost golden beach. With direct access to Ventnor Downs and close proximity to the Ventnor Botanical Gardens, this location offers a serene base to explore some of the Island’s most beautiful and secluded spots, including Woody Bay, Mount Bay, and Binnel Bay.
