2 bedroom house

East Dene Lodge
Believed to have been built in 1854, this Listed, Grade II lodge is situated within the Conservation Area of this sought-after coastal village adjacent to the entrance gates of the East Dene Estate. A path leads from the property down past the 11th Century Church, providing access to the coastal path and down to various bays and beaches as well as to Ventnor seafront.

The lodge has some attractive original features, including large leaded light windows to the first floor accommodation and having vaulted high ceilings. There is an attractive, easily-maintained garden to the front in addition to a courtyard to the rear with a backdrop of mature woodland, part of which is being sold with the property. Elevated to the rear of the cottage, there is the opportunity of creating a seating area with sea views amongst the mature trees offering a secluded and peaceful setting.

East Dene is a Grade II, Listed property, formerly home of the renowned poet Swinburne, latterly an activities centre and wedding venue but is now closed and new owners are planning a luxury hotel.

Situated adjacent to the stone gate pillars to East Dene, a pedestrian gate leads into a garden to the front (east of the lodge), and provides an attractive, private setting. A paved path leads along the front of the lodge with an adjacent gravelled garden enclosed by mature hedging and various flowering shrubs. The path leads around the side of the house to a small rear garden/yard with stone paving and is enclosed by stone walls backing on to woodland. An area of mature and sloping woodland to the south and west of the lodge, extending to Bonchurch Shute is to be included and the property extends to about 0.15 acres. This woodland is presently accessed by steps from the driveway to East Dene, over which there shall be a right of pedestrian access for 12 months following the purchase, after which the future owner will need to access this woodland from within the grounds of the lodge.
