About this property

This superb cottage dating back to 1880 features dazzling sea views from all of the main rooms. Located in a quiet and attractive part of town, at the end of a no through road without passing traffic, the accommodation is artfully decorated and arranged over three floors. Close to popular Shanklin, with its pretty thatched cottages, public houses, restaurants, small shops, nearby theatre, and wonderfully sandy beach. Choose to walk to town via the nearby steps that ascend to the cliff top, or via the natural wooded gorge of Shanklin Chine. A short walk along the beach there is a quiet public house serving meals, and further along the promenade is a choice of restaurants overlooking the sea, plus classic seaside entertainments such as crazy golf and slot machines.
