Shanklin Manor, a historic property featured in the Doomsday Book, has a rich heritage as both a house and a farm, serving as the residence of various Lords of Shanklin Manor over the years. In the early 20th century, the local council acquired the estate, converting much of the land into public spaces such as Big Meade park and Shanklin Cricket Club. The manor itself was sold to the Workers' Travel Association, initially serving as a hotel for the underprivileged before being transformed into a luxurious hotel in 1979. Following extensive renovations, the manor now blends its historical charm with modern amenities, providing a comfortable stay for guests.
The duplex apartment within Shanklin Manor accommodates up to four guests, featuring two spacious bedrooms, including a master double bedroom with an ensuite and a twin bedroom. A family bathroom is located on the first floor, alongside a ground-floor toilet for convenience. Guests can enjoy picturesque views of parkland, woodland, and farmland from all bedrooms, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere of the apartment. The open-plan living area on the ground floor is designed for relaxation and entertainment, equipped with leather sofas, a home cinema system, and a dining area that connects seamlessly to a well-appointed kitchen with modern appliances and granite surfaces.
The extensive grounds of Shanklin Manor span two acres, showcasing a listed walled garden, a summerhouse, and a private gate leading to adjacent parkland. Guests can also enjoy nearby amenities such as Shanklin Cricket Club, where summer matches can be watched, and Big Meade park, which offers open grassland, a duck pond, and a children's play area. Additionally, the historic St Blasius' Church, dating back to the 12th century, is located at the entrance of the manor, adding to the historical significance of the area.
Conveniently situated just a five-minute walk from the charming Old Village, guests can explore thatched cottages, local shops, pubs, and restaurants. The main town center is also within easy reach, as is the cliff top and Esplanade, which lead to sandy beaches. For those traveling by car, discounts on ferry services from Red Funnel and Wightlink are available upon booking. The apartment's location in Shanklin offers easy access to local landmarks such as Appuldurcombe House and the natural beauty of the Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it an ideal destination for families and nature enthusiasts alike.
