Granville Road, Totland Bay, Isle Of Wight, PO39

Whether you have a large or multi-generational family or you are looking to develop a hospitality business this impressive Victorian residence, only a five minute stroll from Totland beach, should tick all the boxes. It has an inordinate amount of flexible accommodation but is currently configured to include eight bedrooms, a two bedroom annex and a two bedroom self-contained cottage. The property is accessed via a driveway where you can park at least seven cars flanked by lawns, shrubs and hedging and, with its black and white elevation, varied roof lines, a canopied bay window and pitched roof dormer echoing the pitched roof porch, it has great kerb appeal. Internally the property also retains some delightful features from a bygone era particularly in the hall including a period front door with leaded light inserts, an arched skylight and side windows as well as solid wood flooring, half height panelled walls, the original staircase and coved ceilings. At the same time it has been sympathetically updated to provide everything needed for modern day living. There is a very large dual aspect sitting/dining room with a wide archway and a charming bay window as well as a box bay window providing plenty of natural light. A good sized lounge offers a relaxing space where you can enjoy a good read while the kitchen/breakfast room includes contemporary grey units housing a double oven, hob and dishwasher with additional stand-alone appliances. Also on the ground floor in the main house is a cloakroom, study and a double bedroom with an en suite bathroom and a door to the rear lobby. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms including three with en suite showers and one with an en suite bathroom. This floor also includes the utility room and laundry facilities as well as access to the lower floor of the annex with its kitchen, bathroom and lounge/dining room and a staircase to the two annex double bedrooms on the second floor. In the main part of the house on the second floor there are three further double bedrooms providing glimpses of the sea and a family bathroom. This area could become a couple of bedrooms and a sitting room for teenagers or adult family members wanting a private space.

What the Owner says:

We moved here about 15 years ago because we had a growing and extended family and we knew the previous owners who had painstakingly renovated the property from top to bottom. During our time here we also ran a small bed and breakfast business for a few years which worked very well in addition to looking after a large family but they have now flown the nest so we feel it is time to downsize. There is lapsed planning for demolition of the existing summer house into construction of a chalet for holiday letting. It is very quiet and peaceful and Totland is becoming a very sought after area. It includes the delightful Waterfront bar and restaurant that we can walk to and it is not far to The Hut at Colwell Bay, which is one of the most popular restaurants on the island. We can be on the beach in five minutes or enjoy a delightful stroll to Headon Warren, Afton and Tennyson Downs.

We are only about a mile from Freshwater with its pubs, restaurants and cafes, while golfers can enjoy their game at the Freshwater Bay Golf Club. The Freshwater Sports Club and West Bay Country Club and Spa are not far away for other leisure facilities. We are less than three miles from Yarmouth that, as well as the ferry port and marina, includes a 16th century castle, a Grade II listed pier that provides views across The Solent and a raft of restaurants, bars and individual shops. Nearby is also the popular Tapnell Park and Fort Victoria Park, which are both perfect for family days out.
