Edwardian Isle of Wight house with panoramic sea views on the market

On the market with Spence Willard for £2,150,000, this fine home can be found on the southern fringe of St Lawrence.

The agent says the property is in a commanding position, providing superb, far-reaching views.

Constructed in 1887 as the Estate Manager’s house for the Old Park Estate, the house was then owned by German industrialist William Spindler, who moved to St Lawrence for his health.

Spindler was instrumental in the development of the Old Park Estate, Undercliff area, and philanthropic projects including the installation of piped water to Whitwell.

Designed to make the most of the southerly views, most rooms have dual aspects, with large windows to take in the surrounding landscape.

The house is not listed, yet it retains many of its attractive original features, and now benefits from double glazing throughout.

It also underwent extensive modernisation around seven years ago.

A largely glazed contemporary garden room was recently added, making the most of the views.

Key features include south facing gardens, panoramic sea views, a modern glazed garden room, many original period features, grounds of 1.1 acres, and an enviable coastal position.

The house boasts four bedrooms and two bathrooms, and benefits from a modern oak-framed car port/garage, and a further detached workshop/garage.
