5 Bed Town House For Sale

A stunning period townhouse converted into a luxurious home overlooking the sea.

6 Pier Street is an impressive three-storey townhouse on the waterfront in Sandown boasting an array of original period features including original fireplaces, ornate cove detailing, architraves, skirting and archways. Having undergone a comprehensive refurbishment it is now a superbly well appointed five bedroom family home. The high specification executive finish incorporates beautifully designed lighting with chrome fronted electrical switches and sockets, vintage style radiators and top of the range Burlington bathroom suites. These features have been sympathetically incorporated to retain much of the character including an impressive hand carved banister and combine to make a comfortable and very attractive family home. In addition to stunning sea views to the majority of rooms there is a sunny aspect to the rear where a small terrace offers space for outdoor dining and entertaining in addition to two parking spaces.

Sandown Bay and surrounding areas are renowned for their long stretching sandy beaches where there is plenty to see and do. The property is situated on a road which leads directly to the beach and promenade and within walking distance to the main town centre with amenities, restaurants, and cafes as well as beautiful coastal walks to Yaverland and Shanklin. Sandown beach is arguably one of the Isle of Wight’s best beaches, providing a long stretch of sand that is great for children and families. Sandown train station is a short walk away, providing links through to Ryde and access to passenger ferry services to Portsmouth where there are connecting trains to London Waterloo. Fast passenger ferry services also operate between Cowes and Southampton with links to varying London stations. Both entire journey times take an estimated 2.5hrs door to door.
