142 HIGH STREET
Sympathetically refurbished and remodeled four bedroom Victorian villa finished to a high standard with all floorings included (carpets and tiled flooring). The owners have spent a considerable amount of time and effort taking full advantage of the original building’s grand dimensions by offering unusually generous room heights, large picture windows and skirting boards. Some of the rooms have retained their original ornate Victorian fireplaces. All interiors have been designed with the modern family in mind with highly efficient gas fed boiler, high specification insulation standards reducing general running costs playing a key factor. New roof, re-wiring and new electrics, new plumbing and heating system and brand new kitchen and bathrooms. Through a series of modern efficient energy upgrades, the current owners have successfully elevated the property’s EPC rating from G to B. Immaculately kept terraced gardens complement a large patio area. This wonderful residence is offered chain-free.
The property is within easy reach of Ventnor, celebrated for its distinctive microclimate that delivers more sunlight hours compared to the rest of the Island alongside a superb, sheltered beach. Only a short five minute walk away is the vibrant town centre, a popular destination with eateries, bars, coastal pubs, boutique shops and parks. The acclaimed Ventnor Botanic Garden is also the same distance nearby. Ventnor hosts the renowned Ventnor Fringe, recognised as the Isle of Wight’s largest mixed arts festival, annually attracting hundreds of artists who gather to showcase their innovative creative works.
