About this property
This fantastic conversion is moments away from the beach.
This fantastic conversion is moments away from the beach. Ideal for two small families to enjoy the wonderful Isle of Wight.. 2 steps to entrance.
Ground Floor:
Open plan living space.
Living area: 40" Freeview Smart TV, Ipod Dock, French Doors Leading To Garden
Dining area.
Kitchen area: Breakfast Area, Electric Oven, Gas Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher, Washing Machine
Separate Toilet.
First Floor:
Bedroom 1: Kingsize (5ft) Bed Ensuite: Cubicle Shower, Toilet
Bedroom 2: Kingsize (5ft) Bed
Bathroom: Bath With Shower Over, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet
Second Floor:
Bedroom 3: 2 x ¾ Double (4ft) Bed (Children Only). Gas central heating, gas, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Travel cot, highchair and 2 stairgates. Welcome pack. Small enclosed Astroturf garden with patio, garden furniture and gas barbecue. Private parking for 1 car; additional on road parking.. Previously part of the former Gatten and Lake Primary School, Old School Mews has been converted into a truly wonderful holiday ‘home from home’. The unique character of the original building has been preserved, whilst benefiting from a modern, sleek twist. The developers spent a considerable amount of time and effort focusing on the detail taking full advantage of the building’s grand dimensions and classic architecture. The accommodation comprises a large, open-plan living space with French doors that lead on to the enclosed, rear garden. The modern kitchen benefits from built in appliances, including a breakfast bar. The master bedroom on the first floor has a spacious en-suite shower room, and there is also a second bedroom plus the family bathroom. The second floor offers an extremely spacious third bedroom which occupies the whole of the top of the house; it contains two 4ft beds, and is an ideal room for up to four children.
Located only minutes away from the cliff path with direct access down to the beach, this charming, terraced holiday home makes an ideal base for small groups, or perhaps even two families, wanting to holiday together. The nearby golden, sandy beaches stretch for miles, and the Esplanade is packed full of amusements and crazy golf, as well as several places to eat. Away from the beach, the main town offers a multitude of shops, cafés, bars and restaurants.
The Old Village is renowned for its pretty thatched cottages, cosy tea rooms, pubs, restaurants and craft shops. The seaside town of Shanklin is well served by public transport around the island with regular buses and the railway ‘Island Line’ to Ryde and Sandown. Outdoor pursuits on the island include horse riding, fishing, cycling, paragliding, golf and water sports. There are numerous attractions across the island to discover for all ages, such as The Needles, with its chairlift, amusement park, boat rides, lighthouse and coloured sands of Alum Bay. Blackgang Chine, Dinosaur Isle, the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, Ventnor Botanical Gardens, Tapnell Farm Park and Carisbrooke Castle are other attractions. Or why not pay a visit to Queen Victoria’s favourite holiday residence, Osborne House and its gardens? The sailing towns of Yarmouth and Cowes also make for a great day out. Whatever you decide, the Isle of Wight has plenty to offer. Beach 550 yards. Shop ½ mile, pub and restaurant 550 yards.
Old School Mews can be booked with Old School Mews Too (ref UK43643) to accommodate up to 12 guests.
