3 bedroom end of terrace house for sale

Charming Grade II Listed cottage nestled in the peaceful village of Bonchurch

5 Undermount - Approached via a unique stone tunnel passageway and reportedly constructed for Queen Victoria's royal visits, the property exudes character and charm throughout. The cottage is thoughtfully designed over two levels, offering upside down living to make the most of its high ceilings and beautiful period features including ornate stained and etched glazing, original window shutters, decorative architraves, and skirting.

Located on the eastern wing of a Victorian manor house, formerly the residence of Queen Victoria's Lady in Waiting, the property benefits from the convenience of allocated parking. Most recently, the current owners have undertaken extensive refurbishment of the property throughout, including new carpets and flooring, rewiring of ground floor area, new consumer unit, new gas boiler, replacement of hallway radiators, new ceilings, replastering and retiling of the bathroom.

Upon entering the ground floor, you will find a spacious hallway that leads to three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a principal bedroom suite. Additionally, there is access to a large, enclosed courtyard garden and storage shed.

The first floor presents magnificent open plan accommodation, boasting a large sitting room with a high ceiling, an open marble fireplace, and original arched double doors that lead into a generously sized kitchen/dining area.

Bonchurch is a hidden gem that gained its popularity during the Victorian era, with its enchanting microclimate and dramatic southerly coastline. Bonchurch retains its picturesque charm with a cosy pub and a historic 11th Century church. The village is interwoven with footpaths, providing access to various scenic bays, including the serene Monks Bay, and offers excellent coastal walks to explore. Just a stone’s throw away is the adjoining town of Ventnor, which boasts a series of beachfront bars and restaurants. Ventnor also features a vibrant fish market and the renowned Botanic Gardens, making it a delightful destination for visitors.
