On the first floor, a bright landing leads to a delightful conservatory, perfectly positioned to enjoy morning light and panoramic sea and countryside views. The principal bedroom is a generous dual aspect suite with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite featuring both a bath and separate shower. A further large double bedroom with triple aspect views, a generous single bedroom, and a family shower room complete this level.

The tiered rear garden offers extensive patio space, mature planting, and a large lawn bordered by specimen trees. A gate provides direct access to Culver Road and the scenic coastal footpath leading to Shanklin’s sandy beach, vibrant esplanade, and local amenities. With excellent transport links nearby, this remarkable home blends coastal tranquility with everyday convenience.

What the Owner says:

Our family loved this house, which is also called Treetops, because of its layout which shows off the beautiful view of coast and countryside to its fullest, particularly from the conservatory and the veranda in the back garden. We loved the garden and took pleasure in the planting and the interesting design, allowing for different activities in different areas. It feels like being on holiday all the time, having such easy access to the sea and the coastal path!

The house feels cosy and inviting but spacious at the same time. It's been great for socialising and hosting family and friends. The street and neighbourhood are friendly and it's been a great place for our parents to live and get involved in the local community. They were very happy here!
