Welcome to Sheldonia, a hidden gem in the delightful seaside town of Ventnor and within touching distance of Steephill Cove - one of the Island's prettiest beaches, featured in The Times' Top 20 Beach Resorts.
Tucked away quietly at the foot of the Ventnor Undercliff, sits this most beautiful house, carefully and sympathetically renovated by its owners, with a nod to the stunning coastal surroundings. The property is located at the top of an unadopted, private lane and has a parking area for two cars. The secluded tiered garden areas provide flexible options for relaxed dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the luxury of being in the heart of this wonderful, sought-after location.
The front door opens directly into the kitchen/diner. Here, a charming dining-area can be found along with a compact but perfectly-formed kitchen, which has all the equipment you'll need to rustle up a holiday meal. There's even a dishwasher, so no squabbling over the washing-up here! The sitting-area is beautifully arranged with chic nautical touches and leads to a wooden balcony, with spectacular panoramic sea views over the picturesque Ventnor Cricket Ground and Botanical Gardens.
Bedrooms two and three sit at the rear of the ground floor, a twin room and a pretty king-size bedroom. A handy wet-room completes the ground floor.
Should your party require, there's a lovely double room (bedroom one) at lower ground floor level, accessed by patio doors, which provides a self-contained area with en suite shower-room. The perfect retreat for those guests who would prefer a little more privacy away from the main living areas and other guests - ideal for holidaying couples, the grandparents or teenagers wanting their own space! Please note, access to this bedroom is via external steps only.
You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to al fresco dining at Sheldonia. At the rear of the property you will find a pretty, elevated decked terrace. This area makes a lovely addition to the tiered patio at the front but please note, due to the geology of the rear gardens, a handrail is not possible so extra care should be taken on the steps leading up to the decking.
Whether you plan to spend your time simply enjoying the pretty surroundings or heading out to explore the many delights of the Island, a holiday at Sheldonia will be one to make many happy memories.
