Station Avenue, Sandown, Isle of Wight

A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase an impressive eleven-bedroom guesthouse in the stunning seaside town of Sandown. This gorgeous, Victorian townhouse has in more recent times been extended and updated to include eleven en-suite guest rooms plus separate living quarters for the owner. It is ideally located right in the heart of this hugely popular tourist destination that's renowned for its beautiful, golden, sandy beaches, family-friendly entertainment and quality bars and restaurants. The recently updated main reception area is a lovely, bright space, with clean, white walls and laminate wood flooring, and the additional details, such as the stained-glass panels in the door, the attractive, arched window and the beautiful, wooden staircase create the wow-factor for newly arrived guests. Leading on from here is a spacious bar and lounge area with dual aspect windows and a pretty, feature fireplace with wood burning stove – the perfect place for guests to relax with a drink after a day of sightseeing. The professional grade kitchen is designed with catering in mind and benefits from aluminium workbenches, a double sink and a sizeable oven. Conveniently located next to the kitchen is the large dining room with an abundance of natural light from both a large window and French doors, that lead onto a paved area outside – great for alfresco dining in the summer months. There are three guest rooms on the ground floor, each with its own en-suite shower room, as well as an owner's sitting room. The first floor comprises of eight further guest rooms, seven with en-suite shower rooms and one with an en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bath. All the rooms here have recently been modernised and tastefully decorated in neutral tones, creating a pleasing, clean and comfortable environment.

Outside to the front of the property is dedicated parking for numerous vehicles and to the rear is the owner accommodation. This separate unit is currently arranged as two bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, and a store room. Whilst it is currently used as living quarters for the owner, it could be used as additional guest rooms, thereby increasing the earning potential this fabulous property has to offer.

What the Owner says:

Sandown Beach is one of the Isle of Wight's finest beaches, with miles of soft golden sands gently sloped into the sheltered waters of Sandown Bay. The esplanade offers traditional seaside cafes, souvenir and beach shops, whilst the pier has amusements galore, including a crazy golf course. There are several outlets to hire deckchairs, sun loungers and windbreaks and get take away hot drinks, chips and ice creams to enjoy whilst you sit on the beach. There are several great restaurants along the esplanade with indoor and outdoor seating affording stunning views across the bay.

For days out in Sandown there's the famous Dinosaur Isle – a museum of artifacts from the Jurassic coast – and the Wildheart animal sanctuary. For exploring more of the island, Sandown has several bus routes taking you to Ryde, Newport and everywhere in between, as well as a train station for the island line, which runs regularly between Ryde and Shanklin, providing mainland commuter links via Hover Travel and the catamaran to Portsmouth.
