A spacious Edwardian property containing period features with its high ceilings, this wonderful family home is in the one of the most popular holiday destinations on the Isle of Wight, Shanklin. There is so much to do and see here, whether you are holidaying as a family or a couple. From long stretches of sandy beaches to the geological feature that is Shanklin Chine. A trip to the old village is not to be missed with its pretty thatched cottages, small gifts shops and tea rooms. Take a trip to Shanklin Chine, a cliff garden that winds up the hill at the south end of the beach. Plant and tree enthusiasts are in for a treat.

After taking the 6 steps up to the front door, enter into the most inviting of hallways with its high ceilings and wide halls, it’s a true reflection of the Edwardian style of this period property. The lounge is the first room you encounter with a smart TV, after a busy day exploring what the Isle of Wight has to offer you can come in here, sit back and relax.
