Isle of Wight villa on market for £1.25 million

The detached six-bedroom Ventnor property, Villa Angeletto – which has been partially refurbished – is on the market with agents Spence Willard.

Key features include stunning sea views and easy access to the beach, comprehensibly refurbished ground and first floors, and a luxurious principal bedroom suite with a dressing room and two en suite shower rooms.

There is also further development potential on the lower ground and second floors.

The property comes with a further six en suite bedrooms, drawing room and panelled sitting room, dual aspect contemporary kitchen, conservatory, parking for up to five cars, and a south-facing garden with panoramic views of the English Channel.  

Constructed in the 1830s as a private house, the property has an entry in Pevsner’s Buildings of England series.

The top floor was added in around 1900, and for much of the 20th century, it was a doctor's surgery and home before becoming a hotel/guest house.

The accommodation extends over four floors, and a refurbishment has transformed it from a guest house into a stunning home.

These floors have been reconfigured to provide light and spacious accommodation to make the most of the views while retaining original features and high ceilings.

New hot water and central heating systems have been installed, except at the lower ground floor level, and the majority of the property has been rewired.

The ground floor now comprises a drawing room and panelled sitting room, both benefitting from the views, along with a large kitchen/breakfast room, south-facing conservatory and utility room.

The first floor comprises the principal bedroom suite with a dressing room and two separate shower rooms, along with two studies.

The top floor, whilst unmodernised, provides four bedroom suites, three of which benefit from southerly sea views.

The lower ground floor remains unconverted but, when used as the guest house, provided the kitchen and owner's living accommodation.

It has great potential for a self-contained apartment with its own access to the front.

The property is not listed and has UPVC double glazing throughout.
