Isle of Wight pub The Chine Inn for sale in Shanklin

£725,000 will bag the new owner a building that originally dates to 1621, set on a cliff and boasting views of both the English Channel and Shanklin Chine.

The Chine Inn has much potential, said a spokesperson for the estate agent, especially for those wishing to explore the development of its restaurant.

With extra accommodation on the first floor and a pub with three bar areas below, all the fixtures and fittings are included in the sale of the building on Chine Avenue in Shanklin.

There is even a well feature, which may have been used by smugglers.

Given its locality, it would be a winning combination, the agents said.

Nearby is Shanklin Old Village and Big Mede recreation area.

On the ground floor, the main bar area features a flagstone floor and a brick fireplace.

Double doors lead to a mezzanine floor and customer toilets.

There is a snug area and bar, with access to the barrel area.

A kitchen, which is not being currently used, has the expected fixtures and fittings.

Outside, there is a covered terrace and store area, which has the potential for a toilet block.

On the separate first floor accommodation, an entrance hall leads to a sitting room with views over the beach, the English Chanel and Shanklin Chine.

The private kitchen has cream shaker style units and a breakfast bar.

There is also a dining room with views and three double bedrooms.

In June, tributes were paid to The Chine Inn's landlord, Bill Dower, following his death, aged 82.
