Down House, Alum Bay New Road, Bay, , PO39 0ES £625,000

This substantial building offers many opportunities for any prospective purchaser. Currently it is a registered care home for the elderly with 14 bedrooms and associated facilities. There is also a top floor flat and a separate owners cottage within the grounds. The building is set on the outskirts of the village towards Alum Bay and has views to the downs and large gardens with driveway parking. There are bus services in the road and the village shops are approximately half a mile away as is the beach at Totland. In it's formative years, the property was most likely to have been a gentleman's residence built we believe around 1900. Over recent years many of these lovely buildings have been restored back to family homes or turned into top end boutique hotels. Please call 01983 754455 for further information or an appointment to view.
