Occupying a large 0.88 acre plot, located on the beach front of The
Duver, this substantial Victorian Villa is being marketed for the
first time since purchased, 92 year years ago. One of three similar
style homes, rarely seen on the open market and built circa 1900.
The three homes all have similar features, beautiful Victorian
design with an Arts and Crafts influence, all built with stone
finials and dressed quoins, Tudor arches and round headed sash
windows, making the homes distinctive and commanding.
This is a conservation area and one of immense historic interest
in the village of St Helens, the area renowned for the remaining
iconic attraction of the Priory Church Tower and the areas physical
landscape of rocky shore, natural woodland and sand dunes.
The home requires renovation, although retains some beautiful
period features, within its spacious and light rooms such as lovely
high ceilings, original solid doors, an ornate stair balustrade,
and period fireplaces. All of the rooms enjoy a wonderful outlook
across the bay from its many dual aspect rooms or alternatively
over the adjacent nature reserve.
The property has 5 large reception rooms and 5 bedrooms,
accompanied by two bathrooms, with ample scope to create en-suite
facilities and dressing areas. In addition to the accommodation on
the ground and first floor, there are two cellar rooms currently
accessed at the side of the property.
The property has the largest plot of the three homes, with a
large area of land to the side currently bordered by mature trees.
There is pedestrian access at the front of the home, via a gate
from the attractive stone boundary wall. To the rear of the home is
vehicular access, providing extensive parking for boasts and
vehicles.
What the Owner says:
The village of St Helens is located on the coast, with The Duver at
the mouth of the harbour. The area features a sand-dune complex
where the first golf course on the island was located, and where
there is now a sheltered beach, cafe and beach huts. The Duver is
maintained by the National Trust and therefore has a prolific
amount of wildlife and unspoilt landscape. A popular promenade
stretches along the beach, with the sand dunes at the rear. In
1997, the beach was given a Seaside Award Flag.
The Eastern Yar, from its source at Niton to the south of the
island, runs through the village of St Helens en route to the
Solent.
St Helens' built environment is set around large village greens,
which are often claimed to make up the second largest green in
England.10 The greens are split up in some areas to allow
for roads, with housing and other development to the north and
south sides of the greens.
