Sun Lodge

Step back in time and immerse yourself in the historic charm of Ventnor at this elegant Isle of Wight retreat with mesmerising sea views and generous spaces for a truly relaxing family escape.

Imagine starting your day with the sight of the glistening southerly coastline and inhaling the crisp sea air at this charming Victorian home. Nestled at the foot of St Boniface Down, this spacious link-detached house exudes traditional character and chic interiors while also incorporating modern amenities for your unforgettable holiday. With two grand reception rooms, there's always a quiet corner to unwind or a lively space to socialise. Imagine the heart of the gathering - the chef whipping up a feast in the well-equipped kitchen, then savouring leisurely meals in the adjacent dining-room where an arched opening creates a seamless connection between the two spaces. As the evening unfolds, retreat to the generous sitting-room complete with a Smart TV and a vinyl record player along with a selection of records adding a touch of classic entertainment. A crackling wood-burner casts a warm glow, inviting you to sink into comfortable seating and lose yourself in the captivating views of the sea beyond the garden's lush Mediterranean blooms.

This inviting family home provides ample space and comfort, boasting four beautiful bedrooms. Three of these feature plush king-size double beds and one offers flexible twin beds, perfect for restful nights all round. From bedroom one, a delightful garden vista guides the gaze to the sea beyond, making it a likely family favourite. With the convenience of a traditional bathroom on the ground floor, plus a modern shower-room and extra cloakroom on the first floor, mornings are a breeze.

Bathed in Ventnor's golden sunshine, the expansive south-facing garden is a haven for both sun-drenched afternoons and starlit evenings. Panoramic sea and flourishing downland views provide a visual feast from dawn till dusk. Beginning with a secluded decked terrace, perfect for morning coffee, the beautifully established garden flows down to an expansive lawn, guiding you to a gated fence. Through the gate, the picturesque garden's edge is revealed and a couple of terraces invite you to sit back and experience true tranquility with spectacular sea views stretching endlessly before you. The charming summer-house further enhances this peaceful spot, offering a sheltered outdoor retreat. Please be aware that this area at the bottom of the garden is open to the edge with no fence and a steep drop - so please keep an eye on children and pets when entering this garden section.

Convenience is key, with driveway parking for two cars, making it easy to explore the island's many attractions. Return to your welcoming retreat and enjoy the unique ambience of a home filled with history and charm.
