This eclectic converted stable is located just a short distance to the west of the main beach in the seaside resort of Ventnor, on the southern coast of the Isle of Wight. Just next to the property, Ventnor Park Gardens make for a pleasant place to walk, and perhaps spend an enjoyable afternoon on the putting green. The seafront in Ventnor is reminiscent of times past, with deckchair hire, an array of small shops selling snacks and seaside paraphernalia, and a children s paddling pool. For a quieter beach experience, the secluded Steephill Cove is just a short walk from the property, and as it is only accessible by foot, is far quieter than the main esplanade and is home to the well regarded Crab Shed seasonal restaurant. Guests approach this property across the shared courtyard, before entering the cottage directly into the open plan living space. Consisting of a lounge/diner, this space has been thoughtfully finished with well chosen antique furnishings, and featuring a large bay window, a large feature fireplace, and an inviting Chesterfield sofa, as well as a TV/DVD with the basic Sky package. There is a separate galley kitchen which is perfectly in keeping with the style of the cottage, where guests will find an electric oven and gas hob, microwave and fridge with ice compartment. For those who wish to do laundry whilst away, there is a laundry service available by arrangement. Towards the rear of the room, one step leads up to the bedroom and bathroom and moving through to the bedroom, guests will find a sanctuary like space which has been finished in a vintage style with exposed floorboards, wooden beams, a double bed and patio doors which lead out onto a courtyard seating area. The bathroom, meanwhile, offers a free standing bath with a hand held shower over the bath and WC. There is a passageway to one side of the bathroom providing a door to the courtyard garden. Outside, the property benefits from a south facing courtyard garden for which there is garden furniture provided. There is off road parking provided for one car, just to the front of the property.
