It may look Georgian in style but Bay House is a thoroughly modern home with a wealth of fine accommodation in a sought-after area of Shanklin.

This impressive and substantial family home occupies an elevated position with far-reaching views. Bay House is particularly well-appointed, bustling with interesting colour and detail.

It offers a range of well-proportioned accommodation including an open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, sitting, dining room and garden room in addition to up to six bedrooms and four bathrooms, three of which being ensuite.

There is also a double garage with room over which ideally lends itself as a family room, gym or the potential of a self-contained annexe with access to bedroom three and ensuite bathroom.

Bay House is situated on the edge of picturesque Shanklin Old Village, within a short walk of Rylstone Gardens and moments from the cliff steps.

The amenities of Shanklin are a short walk away.

A storm porch leads to a hallway. In the hall is a WC with boiler and cylinder.
