Madeira Vale, Ventnor, Isle of Wight

Renovated to an exceptional standard, this architect-designed coastal home in Madeira Vale, Bonchurch combines contemporary luxury, expansive light, and thoughtful functionality. Set on an elevated plot with the dramatic rise of Ventnor Downs behind it, the property offers a striking modern living environment designed for comfort, style, and family life. The entrance hall immediately establishes the home’s refined aesthetic, featuring a vaulted ceiling, abundant glazing, and a sculptural glass staircase. A double-sided log burner links this space to the generous sitting room, where triple-aspect garden views and natural light create an inviting atmosphere.

At the centre of the home is the impressive Nolte kitchen, equipped with handleless cabinetry, Corian worktops, and premium Bosch appliances including dual ovens and a Bora induction hob. The adjoining dining area opens through bi-fold doors to the garden, enhancing the seamless indoor outdoor flow, while a snug or music room provides a quieter retreat. A beautifully crafted orangery adds further openness, with French doors and remote-controlled Velux windows framing the landscaped gardens. Practical spaces include a utility room with external access and a stylish cloakroom.

The home’s distinctive two-staircase layout allows for a potential private wing. The main bedroom suite features vaulted ceilings, a Juliet balcony with sea glimpses, extensive wardrobes, and a luxurious ensuite with a walk-in shower. Two additional first-floor bedrooms enjoy coastal outlooks and share a contemporary family bathroom. Outside, a gated driveway offers ample parking, and the gardens have been meticulously landscaped with tropical planting, mature trees, and multiple terraces ideal for dining and entertaining. With its blend of architectural design, modern comforts, and an enviable coastal setting, this property stands out as an exceptional example of contemporary living on the Isle of Wight.

What the Owner says:

We have lived in this house for eleven years and planned for it to be our forever home. We subsequently poured our hearts into renovating this property to an incredibly high standard, completely transforming the exterior and interior.

The wrap around gardens have also been beautifully landscaped and maintained, containing a huge variety of plants with different seating areas and views.

We have loved living on such a quiet cul-de-sac positioned within a few minutes' walk of the local beaches, the coastal paths and Ventnor town, with all its lovely artisan shops and restaurants. Sadly, our plans have changed, and we now need to find somewhere more suited to our needs.
