Highlands, situated in Shanklin on the Isle of Wight, is a remarkable property steeped in history, originally established over a century ago as a grand residence for notable figures including the Lord Mayor of London and a bishop. Following its transformation into a hotel and subsequent use by a school, the site lay dormant for ten years before being revitalized into five luxurious apartments. The current structure, a mock Georgian manor house, has been meticulously refurbished to maintain the grandeur of its predecessor while offering modern comforts and stunning views of Shanklin and its surroundings.
The apartments within Highlands boast unique features and spacious layouts, spread across four levels, including a penthouse with a rooftop conservatory and balcony that provides breathtaking panoramas of Sandown Bay and the countryside. Each apartment is designed with high-quality finishes, including oak furniture, leather sofas, and stylish kitchen areas equipped with granite worktops and essential appliances. Residents can also enjoy communal gardens, off-road parking, and dedicated bike storage, enhancing the overall experience of staying in this picturesque location.
Apartment 3, specifically, is a well-appointed first-floor unit that includes a double bedroom with an ensuite, a twin bedroom, a family bathroom, and a kitchen/diner. The curved living area adds a touch of elegance, and families can request a travel cot and high chair at no additional charge. For larger groups, the option to book multiple apartments simultaneously is available, making it convenient for family reunions or gatherings.
Located along the scenic coastal path between Shanklin and Sandown, Highlands is ideally positioned near the Old Village, known for its charming thatched cottages, and a variety of shops, pubs, and restaurants. The area is rich in natural beauty, with access to National Trust land and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. For those traveling to the Isle of Wight, the property offers a 15% discount on car ferry services, making it an attractive option for visitors looking to explore the island's cultural landmarks, such as Shanklin Theatre and Dinosaur Isle, while also enjoying family-friendly attractions like Pirates Cove.
