Highlands, located in Shanklin on the Isle of Wight, is a remarkable property steeped in history, having evolved from a grand Victorian residence to a luxurious apartment complex. Originally constructed for Sir James Thomson Ritchie, the Lord Mayor of London, the site has hosted notable figures such as Reverend William Page Roberts, Bishop of Salisbury. After serving various purposes, including a hotel and a school, the original building fell into disrepair for a decade. The current structure, a grand mock Georgian manor house, has been meticulously refurbished into five spacious apartments, each with unique features and breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
The apartments at Highlands offer a blend of modern luxury and historical charm, with oak furniture, leather sofas, and oak-floored living areas. Each unit is equipped with fitted kitchens featuring granite worktops, essential appliances, and entertainment amenities such as a 32" LED TV with Freesat and free Wi-Fi. Among the standout features is the penthouse apartment which boasts a rooftop conservatory and a private balcony overlooking Sandown Bay. Additionally, communal gardens, off-road parking, and cycle parking bays enhance the overall experience for guests, making it a perfect retreat for families and groups.
Apartment 4, a second-floor loft penthouse, is particularly appealing with its double and single bedrooms, bathroom, and a kitchen/diner that opens to the conservatory. Families can benefit from complimentary amenities like a travel cot and high chair. The flexibility of booking individual apartments or combinations allows larger groups to enjoy the property together, accommodating various needs and preferences.
Situated along the coastal path connecting Shanklin and Sandown, Highlands is ideally located near the picturesque Old Village, with its charming thatched cottages, shops, and dining options. Guests can explore the natural beauty of the Isle of Wight, including the nearby Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and local attractions such as Pirates Cove and the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary. To further enhance the experience, discounts on car ferry services are available, making it convenient for visitors to access this stunning destination.
