Located in a sought-after corner of the Isle of Wight, this stylish apartment makes a fantastic base for walkers, beachgoers and anyone travelling with a four-legged companion. Located in the heart of Shanklin, you’ll be just a short stroll from the enchanting Shanklin Chine, where leafy paths and waterfalls lead down to the sandy shoreline for a morning outing with your canine friend.
Accessed via its own private entrance and staircase, this welcoming first-floor apartment opens into a hallway where you can store coats and leads. This opens to a bright and airy living area, where high ceilings and large bay windows create a wonderful sense of light. Window seats provide a cosy perch for watching the world go by. The lounge area is thoughtfully arranged with comfortable seating, a Smart TV and a decorative fireplace, creating a lovely spot to settle in for the evening with your hound curled up at your feet. The kitchen is sleek and well-equipped, with a central island that doubles as a sociable dining spot – handy for everything from lazy breakfasts to evening meals after coastal adventures. The apartment offers three inviting bedrooms, each with its own Smart TV. Choose from a twin room, a snug double, and a family room with a king-size bed and a raised small double bunk accessed by steps – a fun option for younger guests. A contemporary shower room completes the layout. While there’s no private outdoor area, you’re within half a mile of both the beach and the chine, making it easy to head out for fresh air and exercise with your tail-wagger. Parking is in a public car park, 250 metres from property, subject to availability.
Shanklin itself is brimming with places to eat and drink, many within easy walking distance, and sits conveniently between the coastal towns of Ventnor (3.5 miles) and Bembridge (7 miles). With a great selection of pet-positive pubs, cafes and eateries nearby, you’ll have everything you need close at hand. History hounds on the lead will enjoy English Heritage’s Appuldurcombe House (5.5 miles), where they are welcome to explore both inside and out.
