What the Owner says:

Shanklin is a charming, traditional seaside holiday destination, steeped in history but with all the advantages of modern conveniences as well. This exquisite property overlooks ‘Small Hope’; an unspoilt golden, sandy beach with pretty beach huts and cafés along the revetment, which leads to ‘Hope beach’, home to traditional seaside entertainments and several bars and restaurants overlooking the sea.

The location of this property benefits from the convenience of a local corner shop at the end of the road, as well as a variety of larger shops and supermarkets close by.

A short walk along the scenic Red Squirrel coastal path will take you to many more of Shanklin’s delights, such as the Victorian park ‘Rylstone Gardens’ and the beautiful natural landmark ‘Shanklin Chine’. There’s also the picturesque Shanklin Old Village; lined with pretty thatched cottages housing traditional pubs serving local ales and produce as well as artisan shops, restaurants and tea rooms.

Shanklin is also an ideal base for exploring what the rest of the island has to offer. There are no less than seven bus routes covering the whole of the island, as well as a train station with a line to Ryde pierhead.
