Laconia
St Lawrence is an idyllic location with a beautiful, rustic coastline and many impressive coastal and country walks. The village has a well-appointed local grocery shop and the neighbouring town of Ventnor provides a wider selection of amenities, including independent shops, bars, a doctor’s surgery, an array of fine eateries and a superb beach.
The accommodation is spacious and enjoys views of the sea from both the ground floor, first floor, and the wonderful enclosed deck to the rear of the sitting room. The lower garden is superb, enclosed with a beautiful stone wall and accessed via a stone pathway with steps which meander through the abundance of plants and flowers, assisted by water from a natural spring and its direct southerly aspect.
The property also has planning permission to extend the first floor accommodation to create a further double bedroom and create a large porch with utility room on the ground floor.
