We have been so proud to build up a thriving business since we moved here some seven years ago. However, we feel it is time for us to retire and hope new owners will be interested to carrying on this bed and breakfast business. During the time we have been here we have refurbished the property including new décor, beds and furniture in every room and have just finished redecorating everywhere so it is all fresh for the new season. We love the fact that it is only two minutes' walk to the best restaurants and teashops in Shanklin and a five-minute walk to Shanklin Chine and the beach.It is a delightful seaside resort including the impressive beach that was winner of the Beach of the Year Award in the Countryfile Magazine in 2019. The Old Village is charming with its thatched cottages, independent shops, restaurants and pubs, while the Shanklin Theatre provides a variety of professional and amateur shows for evening entertainment. There is a real feeling of community and, if you enjoy the ‘great outdoors' there is nothing like a bracing walk with the dog or a cycle ride to Culver Down or Ventnor. You will also find suitable infant nurseries in the vicinity as well as two good primary schools.Room sizes:Entrance HallwayDining Room: 21'0 x 10'0 (6.41m x 3.05m)Lounge: 16'3 x 14'2 (4.96m x 4.32m)Sun Room: 16'10 x 14'5 (5.13m x 4.40m)Room 1 plus En-Suite: 13'1 x 9'0 (3.99m x 2.75m)Room 2 plus En-Suite: 12'3 x 10'6 (3.74m x 3.20m)Inner HallwayOffice: 6'4 x 5'0 (1.93m x 1.53m)Kitchen: 19'2 x 10'0 (5.85m x 3.05m)Utility Room: 6'8 x 6'4 (2.03m x 1.93m)Owners Lounge / Dining Room: 20'3 x 9'10 (6.18m x 3.00m)Owners Bedroom 1: 12'4 x 12'1 (3.76m x 3.69m)Owners Bedroom 2: 10'7 x 8'5 (3.23m x 2.57m)Owners Shower RoomLandingGalleried LandingRoom 3 plus En-Suite: 10'0 x 5'4 (3.05m x 1.63m)Room 4 plus En-Suite: 13'1 x 10'0 (3.99m x 3.05m)Room 5 plus En-Suite: 8'9 x 8'7 (2.67m x 2.62m)Room 6 plus En-Suite: 10'0 x 8'3 (3.05m x 2.52m)Room 7 plus En-Suite: 13'10 x 13'6 (4.22m x 4.12m)Room 8 - Bedroom 1: 11'0 x 8'9 (3.36m x 2.67m)Room 8 - Bedroom 2: 14'1 x 7'2 (4.30m x 2.19m)En-Suite Shower RoomRoom 9 plus En-Suite: 13'5 x 11'0 (4.09m x 3.36m)Front GardenDriveway ParkingDetached GarageRear Garden
