Description

Set on popular Melville Street in the heart of a conservation area, this imposing & spacious Grade II listed Georgian residence, packed with period charm and historical character, offers a wonderful coastal lifestyle, just a short stroll away from the fabulous seafront which boasts golden sandy beaches. The property is listed as being of architectural and historic interest, and is steeped in local provenance and heritage. The town centre is also conveniently located within a short walking distance, as are excellent mainland transport links. Having been in the current family for over 40 years, 'Wight Knights' offers huge scope for extensive renovation and modernisation, with the potential to become an imposing, and very unique period town house (with potential for seven bedrooms) in a good size plot with magnificent established gardens, an elegant Georgian facade, and wrought-iron gates opening to a private front court yard. The property offers substantial accommodation arranged over three floors, with huge character and charm, still retaining many period features such as interior window shutters, sash windows, high ceilings, deep skirtings, traditional coving and cornicing, and an ornate feature fireplace. Although connected by staircase to the main house, the lower ground floor has a separate side entrance lending itself perfectly to separate self-contained accommodation, ideal for multi-generational living, or working from home. Magnificent panoramic sea views are commanded from some of the rear aspect accommodation.
