Description

" The building currently incorporates five delightful apartments but the ‘jewel in the crown' is this ground and first floor maisonette that was previously two separate flats but has been converted into one very special home. The exterior of Sandlands is awe-inspiring with its amazing chimney stacks, corner turrets, black and white feature elevations, bay windows, patterned brick work and large porch. Fabulous period features can also be found inside the apartment with its very high ceilings, panelled doors, ornate coving and dado rails, picture rails, half height wall panelling, ceiling roses, high skirtings, fire places and original multi-pane ‘skylights' above the turret windows and French doors. A paved pathway, flanked by hedging and charming shrub borders, leads to the private period front door of the apartment and opens into the entrance hall with its original herringbone parquet floor. This flooring continues into the formal dining room where you can happily host a lunch or dinner for eight to ten friends and family. It includes a staircase to the first floor, French doors to the kitchenbreakfast room and an open archway to the simply stunning lounge. This impressive room has so many wonderful original features it is difficult to know where to look first. It includes an ornate ceiling, a delightful fireplace with a log burning stove and an ornamental arch to the charming ground floor hexagonal turret, which is made up of five windows where you can sit and admire the views. There are French doors to the kitchenbreakfast room and open access to the charming garden roomsnug. With its wall of windows and an external door to the communal gardens it is just the place for a quiet read. The triple aspect and interestingly shaped kitchenbreakfast room area is light and bright with a vast array of original multi-pane windows on three sides and provides plenty of room for a large table and chairs and a door that leads out to a large private terrace and beautifully planted garden. Also on the ground floor is an adjacent utility room as well as a superb dual aspect double bedroom and en-suite bathroom with a dual aspect dressing room that could always be used as a single bedroom or additional office. On the first floor you will find the family bathroom and two or three bedrooms.

What the Owner says:

We bought this house about five years ago as we loved the whole character of the place and, although we have lived in a number of homes on the island, we feel this is our favourite. We enjoy the village with its community supermarket, primary school and local pubs and restaurants, as well as the beach and delightful walks.

We are fairly central for many places on the island including the ferry terminals and less than five miles from Ryde with its quirky mix of Victorian architecture and traditional seaside entertainment. It includes a wide selection of independent shops, a plethora of bars, cafes, and restaurants and, unlike some places on the island, it is a hive of activity all year round.

However, even closer to the property are both Seagrove and Priory beaches, ideal for swimming or days on the beach. For sporting enthusiasts you will find the Seaview Yacht Club for sailing and multiple great places to go riding and cycling.
