A charming and spacious villa situated in the delightful village of Shanklin, a destination with a unique blend of attractions. The picturesque village centre exudes a quaint, nostalgic charm with its chocolate box cottages, inviting gift shops, and cosy tea rooms. In contrast, the lively seafront offers a sandy beach where amusement arcades, ice cream parlours, and a mini-golf complex promise hours of fun for all ages. Shanklin Chine (0.8 miles) connects the village to the beach. This tree-lined gorge is a captivating natural wonder by day and transforms into a magical spectacle with multi-coloured lights in the evening. For an extra touch of local culture, visit the Shanklin Theatre (0.3 miles), where you can enjoy a variety of performances ranging from plays and musicals to stand-up comedy and concerts.

 Upon arrival at this stunning villa, guests are greeted by a grand tiled entrance hall, setting the tone for the elegance and spaciousness that awaits within. Off the hall, the expansive, light-filled lounge beckons with plush, inviting sofas, perfect for unwinding. The fireplace, complete with a cosy wood burner, adds a touch of warmth and charm, creating an ideal setting for a relaxing evening. A TV with Freesat is also provided for your entertainment. Patio doors open onto a balcony, allowing guests to seamlessly extend the living space into the outdoors during the summer, making it a perfect spot for enjoying a morning coffee. The dining room, just off the lounge, features impressive refectory-style bench seating, making every meal a delightful experience. The contemporary kitchen, bathed in natural light, offers everything needed to prepare delicious meals. The freezer, dishwasher and washing machine are in a separate utility room next to the kitchen for added convenience. A stylish shower room with a walk-in shower and WC completes this floor. Ascending the stairs from the hallway, guests will find the beautifully appointed and inviting bedrooms on the first floor. The first bedroom is a luxurious king-size room boasting an en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC and with lovely views over the impressive garden. The second bedroom is also a king-size room with en-suite facilities featuring a shower and WC.

 Outside, the villa's enchanting garden is accessed through a door from the hallway. This door opens onto a terraced seating area, ideal for al fresco dining or lounging in the sun. Beyond this, stairs lead down to the main garden, a tranquil haven with winding paths that create a sense of seclusion and discovery. A charming stream flows through the garden, adding to the serene and picturesque atmosphere.

Great home from home with a fabulous garden. Lots of wildlife to watch. The owners are welcoming and non-intrusive. You do need to reverse onto the drive so you can drive off safely using the mirror provided. The property is well placed to explore the island.

This is a very lovely self catering property. Stunning decor with huge attention to detail and comfort. The garden is quite breathtaking. The location is also excellent with easy access to walks, roads and buses as well as pubs, restaurants and shops. By far the best self self catering weve ever had!

The house was beautiful. In an excellent location in Old Shanklin, it was in walking distance of restaurants and pubs. It is beautifully furnished- so comfortable, clean and extremely well equipped.

Peacock Villa was just perfect. It had everything we could possibly need, the whole house was spotlessly clean.
