Description

The Turret House This impressive stone built building centred around a courtyard was built to serve the East Dene Estate, (which was once home to the poet Swinburn). Now Listed, Grade II, the building retains many original features ranging from extensive carved stonework to decorative towers to either side of the entrance gates leading to the courtyard. The building has until recently been used as part of an activity centre with classrooms and dormitory accommodation, and the courtyard is enclosed with a glazed structure. There are large windows to many of the rooms as well as good ceiling heights. The Turret House (also known as The Coach House) is now offered on a subject to planning basis, with planning consent being sought for conversion into extensive striking residence making the most of the southerly views towards the English Channel. There is proposed to be off street parking adjacent and a south facing garden from which the coastal views can be enjoyed. This offers is a unique project where the purchaser will take on the building in its current form, once planning consent has been achieved and be responsible for undertaking the conversion process.

The superb position within the Conservation Area of this popular coastal village, just a short walk from the beach at Monks Bay and nearly12th Century church. East Dene itself, situated a short distance to the east is Listed Grade II* and there are proposals that this shall become a high end boutique hotel. The sought-after area is renowned for having a great micro-climate and nearby Ventnor has a wide range of restaurants and shops as well as Botanical gardens.
