Description
A landmark coastal residence offering direct Solent frontage, private slipway, boathouse, and elegant family accommodation set within 0.6 acres, now available for the very first time.
For those seeking a truly exceptional coastal lifestyle, 98 Fishbourne Lane represents an exceedingly rare opportunity. This striking, detached home occupies a prime waterfront position in one of the most exclusive enclaves on the Isle of Wight, and comes complete with its own boathouse, private slipway, and panoramic Solent views.
Set within approximately 0.6 acres of beautifully maintained gardens, the property has never been offered for sale, a testament to both its desirability and the lifestyle it affords. Tucked away on a quiet private road, with no through traffic, this home enjoys an unmatched sense of peace, privacy, and connection to the water.
The most remarkable feature is its direct frontage onto the Solent, offering spellbinding views of passing yachts, ferries, and coastal wildlife. Whether you’re sipping coffee from the roof terrace, relaxing in the conservatory, or enjoying a sunset from the front lawn, the changing light over the water is a constant companion.
The private slipway provides direct access to the sea, making it ideal for boat owners, paddle boarders, or those with a keen interest in coastal recreation. Adjacent sits a characterful boathouse, currently used for storage and marine equipment. This is a versatile structure that could lend itself to a range of uses subject ton the usual permissions.
The main accommodation is a spacious and thoughtfully designed four-bedroom detached residence, presented in excellent condition throughout. Internally, the property combines classic proportions with a coastal, light-filled atmosphere.
The entrance hall is wide and welcoming, with a broad staircase rising to the first floor. The kitchen/dining room is open-plan and perfect for family life, with French doors to the Conservatory and space for large-scale entertaining.
A utility room and boot room provide practical spaces for countryside or coastal living whilst the living room offers a peaceful, water-facing retreat, featuring a bay window with built-in window seat and a log-burning stove, ideal for cosy winter evenings.
The conservatory captures panoramic views across the Solent and opens to the garden. You will also find a cloakroom and additional flexible room, perfect as a home office or fifth bedroom on the ground floor.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom features its own ensuite, while three further double bedrooms share a well-appointed family bathroom. A true highlight on this level is the roof terrace above the entrance porch, large enough for a bistro table and chairs, a delightful spot to enjoy the morning sun and sea air.
Tucked away and set back from the lane, with a generous driveway offering parking for multiple vehicles. A detached garage, set just to the side of the house, offers further storage or workshop potential. The gardens are mostly laid to lawn and edged with hedging for privacy. With the boathouse, slipway, and water frontage integrated into the landscape, the grounds offer both beauty and lifestyle flexibility.
Fishbourne Lane is one of the most prestigious and tightly held addresses on the Island. Just moments from the Fishbourne Ferry Terminal and close to the coastal towns of Ryde, Seaview, and Wootton Bridge, it combines accessibility with tranquillity.
