Description

Upperbrook presents a unique investment opportunity in the highly sought-after Shanklin Old Village. This charming detached stone cottage, dating back to 1949, is set on an expansive plot of approximately 0.35 acres and boasts a picturesque setting near Shanklin Chine. Although the home is in need of significant updating across all areas, it offers a blank canvas for buyers looking to create a personalized living space infused with character. The internal layout features two generous double bedrooms and two bathrooms, including one en-suite, along with two reception rooms and a separate kitchen – all positioned conveniently on a single level. A substantial garden provides serene views of the lush surroundings, making it ideal for those who appreciate natural beauty. Additionally, the detached garage presents further potential for conversion into useful spaces such as an annexe or home office, contingent upon obtaining necessary planning permissions. Notably, Upperbrook is not listed, allowing greater freedom for alterations and enhancements. With its ample charm and prime location amidst the scenic routes and quaint amenities of Shanklin Old Village, this property promises both value-add opportunities and an appealing lifestyle.
