Shanklin, Isle of Wight

A beautifully presented contemporary home forming part of an impressive conversion of a former Victorian junior school site completed in 2018.

Number 8, Old School Mews occupies the former gymnasium building and therefore provides spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors including striking vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and modern specification throughout. There are three generous sized bedrooms, an enclosed garden, and off-road parking making it an idea family home, holiday home or rental property. The house enjoys an excellent coastal position and would suit both permanent occupation and holiday letting.

Constructed in 2018 as part of this high-quality development, 8 Old School Mews is an attractive and thoughtfully finished house offering approximately 1,500sq ft of internal accommodation and has the peace of mind of the balance of a 10 year new home build warranty. The property has been successfully operated as a holiday let by the current owners, generating in excess of £30,000 per annum and benefitting from Small Business Rates Relief.
