Ventnor, Isle Of Wight

Elegant Victorian coastal living with panoramic sea views

Trewartha - Set in an exceptional elevated south-facing position within Ventnor’s sought-after Conservation Area, Trewartha is a distinguished detached Victorian residence commanding breathtaking panoramic views across the English Channel. Offered to the market for the first time in over 40 years, the property is just a short level walk from Ventnor’s charming town centre and the picturesque Esplanade with its Blue Flag sandy beach.

Behind its handsome stone façade, the property retains a wealth of original period features while benefiting from significant recent improvements including a full electrical rewire, new boiler and radiators, refurbished utility room, new principal bathroom and redecoration throughout. The home now presents as an exciting opportunity for a new owner to personalise and further enhance and modernise.

The accommodation is spacious with elegant reception rooms which maximise the spectacular sea views. The upper floors provide six bedrooms including a magnificent principal suite with balcony overlooking the sea.

Outside, a superb south-facing terrace leads onto expansive lawns with a summer house, perfectly positioned to enjoy the uninterrupted sea views. Additional areas include greenhouses, stores, a detached garage and off-road parking for two vehicles.

The property has recently undergone comprehensive works to deal with a subsidence insurance claim. Works to stabilise the foundations and internal repairs having been completed under the supervision of a structural engineer with confirmatory reports available. The works to the foundations have a 10-year guarantee. Walls at the bottom of the garden have been strengthened with the installation of ground anchors. The substantial conservatory, constructed in 1989, is towards the end of its life and needs either considerable repair or replacement.
