Lower Green Road, St. Helens

Welcome to 1 Bellevue
Occupying the upper floor of this attractive period building, 1 Bellevue is a wonderfully bright and beautifully presented home with an easy, uplifting feel throughout. Fresh white décor and a soft neutral palette allow the natural light to take centre stage, particularly within the generous open-plan sitting room and kitchen, where a broad bay window frames a lovely outlook across St Helens Village Green. Two bedrooms and a modern bathroom are arranged around the central landing, while fixed steps rise to an unexpected bonus: a substantial attic room offering flexible space for working, creativity or occasional guests. Its elevated position is a particular delight, opening up remarkable views across Bembridge Harbour, the Solent and the surrounding countryside. Combining period character, practical accommodation and a highly desirable village setting, this is an appealing home for permanent living or a coastal retreat. Bellevue is comprised of just two apartments, which have also been soundproofed between. Both apartments are currently available, opening up an opportunity for multigenerational living or investment.
Set on the lower edge of St Helens Village Green, 1 Bellevue enjoys the sort of location that makes day-to-day life feel distinctly relaxed. The Green itself forms the immediate outlook, while the harbour, St Helens Duver and the beach are all close at hand for sailing, paddleboarding, walking or simply escaping to the water. The village has an appealing sense of community, with a local shop and café, post office, primary school, doctors’ surgery and traditional pub, while nearby Bembridge and Seaview broaden the choice of independent shops, restaurants, beaches and sailing facilities. Country lanes, coastal paths and National Trust land provide plenty of opportunities to explore on foot or by bicycle. Ryde lies less than five miles away for a wider range of amenities together with fast passenger connections to the mainland, and Southern Vectis route 8 provides useful links to neighbouring villages and towns.
The Approach
Bellevue forms part of a handsome red-brick period building overlooking St Helens Green, its projecting bay and traditional proportions giving the property an immediate sense of character. A shared front door opens to the communal entrance hall, from which the entrance to 1 Bellevue leads to its own staircase rising to the apartment above.
The Accommodation
The heart of the apartment is the open-plan sitting room and kitchen, a generously proportioned and naturally bright space where the broad front bay looks directly across the Village Green. The sitting area provides ample room for comfortable seating, while the kitchen is arranged neatly along one side with white cabinetry, timber-effect worktops and a crisp, understated finish that suits the light-filled scheme.
The principal bedroom is an excellent double with tall ceilings and plenty of floor space, while the second bedroom provides further flexible accommodation for guests, children or home working. A modern bathroom completes this level, with a white suite and shower over the bath. Throughout, the fresh décor, pale finishes and generous window openings give the apartment a light, calm character.
Fixed steps from the first-floor landing rise to a substantial attic room, creating an exceptionally useful extension to the accommodation. Its open proportions make it well suited to a studio, workspace, hobby room or occasional guest area, with useful eaves storage positioned to either side. The real highlight, however, is the outlook: from this elevated vantage point there are sweeping views across rooftops to Bembridge Harbour, the sea and the surrounding countryside, giving the space an unexpectedly special quality.
