This remarkable property is situated in an elevated position, offering breathtaking sea views across approximately 6.5 acres of land. Nestled within mature, landscaped gardens, the house enjoys one of the most coveted locations on the Isle of Wight, providing both seclusion and exceptional views of the English Channel.
Luccombe is positioned between Shanklin and Bonchurch on the island's southern coast. While the house is believed to have been built in 1928, its origins trace back to the 17th century. Offering privacy and stunning views, the property is set within beautifully landscaped grounds. A stream flows through the upper garden, passing under the house via a tunnel, and emerges as a waterfall that cascades into the chine, eventually leading to the beach. A series of paths wind down through a delightful outdoor dining area and viewpoint within the chine, with one once extending all the way to the shore.
The house has been modernized in recent years, highlighted by a striking drawing room featuring large, glazed doors that open onto a balcony, providing panoramic views of the chine and the sea beyond. The accommodation includes five spacious double bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, and the master bedroom has French doors leading to a generous rear balcony with breathtaking views.
PLEASE NOTE: Children must be supervised at all times in the garden due to the grounds the garden is fenced and gates in the back garden are locked with no access for guests to use due to the cliff edge.
