Clarence Road, Wroxall

Welcome to Elm View

Elm View is a wonderfully presented semi-detached stone villa, believed to date from around 1900, where period character meets a striking modern extension designed for light, views and relaxed entertaining. The original home retains an appealing sense of charm, with a handsome stone façade, bay-fronted sitting room and woodburning stove, while the rear has been thoughtfully opened up to create a fabulous kitchen, lounge and dining space. Skylights draw natural light deep into the room and full-width bifold doors frame the garden and countryside beyond, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. Finished with warm wood flooring, elegant cabinetry, practical utility space and beautifully styled bathrooms, the accommodation feels both comfortable and considered, with underfloor heating enhancing the kitchen, lounge/diner and bathroom. To the rear, the west-facing garden, terrace, pergola and mature planting make the most of the wonderful Stenbury Down outlook, giving the home a particularly special lifestyle appeal.

Wroxall is ideally placed between the much-loved seaside towns of Shanklin and Ventnor, offering a wonderful balance of village convenience, countryside scenery and coastal lifestyle. Everyday amenities are close at hand, including a convenience store with post office, primary school, active community centre and The Star pub, a popular starting point for scenic walks towards Ventnor, Shanklin, Whitwell and Godshill. The surrounding landscape is a real highlight, with rolling downland, leafy footpaths and open countryside all nearby, while the beaches, independent shops and restaurants of Shanklin and Ventnor are only a short drive away. Public transport is also well served by Southern Vectis route 3, connecting Wroxall with Newport, Ventnor, Shanklin and Ryde, making this an appealing setting for those seeking village life with excellent links across the Island.

The Approach

Set behind a generous paved frontage, Elm View makes an immediate impression with its attractive stone elevations, period proportions and broad driveway approach. The home sits comfortably within its village setting, with glimpses towards the downs hinting at the far-reaching views waiting at the rear.

Ground Floor

The ground floor is arranged with a natural flow from the entrance area into the heart of the home, where the recent rear extension creates an impressive open plan kitchen, lounge and dining space. This beautifully sociable area has been designed around entertaining, family life and the outlook beyond the garden, with the kitchen flowing seamlessly into the living and dining zone. The kitchen features elegant cabinetry, a central island, integrated appliances, a Quooker tap and warm wood flooring, complemented by underfloor heating that continues through the lounge/diner. Skylights enhance the sense of space, while the bifold doors, complete with electric blinds, open directly to the raised terrace and frame the spectacular Stenbury Down views. A hallway connects this modern living area to the original front section of the house, where the separate sitting room provides a cosy and characterful retreat with a bay window and woodburning stove. Also on this level are a useful utility room and a stylish ground floor bathroom, fitted with a bath and shower over, twin vanity unit, patterned floor tiles and underfloor heating.

First Floor

The first floor provides three bedrooms and a cloakroom, accessed from a landing which features a characterful decorative finish. Bedroom one sits to the front of the house and offers a comfortable principal bedroom with a broad window and calm neutral presentation. Bedroom two is another well-proportioned double bedroom, with built-in storage visible and a bright, softly styled finish. Bedroom three is currently arranged as a home office, making excellent use of the rear outlook towards the downs, although it would also work well as a nursery, guest room or compact bedroom. A separate cloakroom serves the first floor, adding useful practicality for family living.

Outside

The outside space is a major part of Elm View’s appeal, particularly to the rear where the garden enjoys a west-facing aspect and wonderful views towards Stenbury Down. Directly from the open plan living space, bifold doors open to a paved raised terrace with a glazed balustrade, creating a superb spot for outdoor dining while preserving the view. Steps lead down to a further paved entertaining area with a pergola, offering a more sheltered seating space surrounded by mature planting. Beyond this, the garden is mainly laid to lawn with established hedging, trees and planted borders, giving a leafy, private feel. There is also a greenhouse and a detached shed, providing useful garden storage.

Parking

Elm View benefits from generous paved driveway parking to the front and side of the house, with space for several vehicles. A detached garage sits to the rear of the driveway, offering secure parking, storage or workshop potential.
