Description
Uppermount This former Victorian Coach House has been subject to an extensive, high quality refurbishment, along with an extension in 2019. A combination of excellent design and quality fittings make for a superb family home, sensitively combining period charm with all the modern comforts. There has been great attention to detail in the design, choice of finishes, as well as an unusually good extent of storage incorporated throughout the house. The renovation included the installation of new plumbing, electrical and heating systems (including underfloor heating in all bathrooms and the kitchen), along with reconfiguration and raising ceilings to provide a particularly spacious, open feel. The property has been fitted throughout with new hardwood framed double glazed windows with great consideration given to the lighting design both internally and within the gardens. A substantial detached garden room was built in the place of a former hothouse offering a highly versatile extension to the living space, incorporating a shower room and kitchenette.
The property benefits from a particularly tranquil, private setting, in this sought-after coastal village. The secluded south facing gardens make for a unique and incredibly attractive location, there is a private gated access into the adjoining churchyard whilst sea views can be enjoyed from the upper garden. There is a parking area off the drive as well as a gated drive leading to the front of the house with mature beautifully landscaped gardens.
Monks bay is a short walk away and there are superb coastal walks including to nearby Ventnor, where there are a good range of shops, bars and restaurants as well as popular fish market and botanic gardens. The enchanting surrounding of Bonchurch also benefits from a great microclimate and became very popular in the Victorian era, regularly visited by the likes of Charles Dickens and retains The Bonchurch Inn, just up Bonchurch Shute
