Alexandra Gardens, Ventnor

Welcome to 5 Alexandra Gardens
Conceived in the early 1880s by esteemed architect Theodore Ridley Saunders, number five Alexandra Gardens, originally known as ‘Enville House’, has been upgraded to a fabulous standard by the current owners. Subtle changes to the layout have created a flowing floorplan, arranged over four floors with five bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, and spacious reception rooms combining to offer added versatility. Fabulous period features, including ornate Gothic staircases and intricate plasterwork have been complemented with beautiful neutral décor and high-quality finishes, and the property has magnificent sea views from the front, with enchanting downland views to the rear. The property also benefits from increased insulation, gas central heating and double-glazing. Accommodation comprises a porch and welcoming entrance hall, living room, dining room and cloakroom on the ground floor, a hall, kitchen, breakfast room, prep area, pantry, store area, sunroom and WC on the lower ground floor, with five double bedrooms, all ensuite, and a further bedroom/study with utility room on the top two floors.
Nestled above Ventnor’s picturesque seafront, Alexandra Gardens is a distinguished private road comprising eight grand villas, each echoing the elegance and craftsmanship of the late Victorian period. This convenient location offers the best of both worlds with countryside and coastal walks on the doorstep. With its beautiful golden beach and delightful Victorian Esplanade, Ventnor town is located just a short, flat walk away where a wide range of amenities including boutique shops, fine eateries, supermarkets, a dentist and medical centre, plus a post office can be found. Ventnor also offers primary and secondary schools, all within walking distance from the property. The larger towns of Newport and Ryde, which are approximately a 25-minute drive away, provide a range of popular shops, restaurants and cinemas. Southern Vectis bus route 6 and 3 links the property with the towns of Newport and Ventnor, including intermediate villages and connections across the Island.
