The property, Avalon, on Appley Rise in Ryde, is on the market through agents TAUK with a guide price of £1,250,000.
The impressive home is believed to have been built in the mid-19th century and still retains many of its original features.
The detached home is arranged over several floors and extends to eight bedrooms, but the house’s versatility means that several are currently used for alternative purposes, including two home offices and a cinema room.
The agents believe the property is particularly well suited to larger or extended families, those working from home, or purchasers simply looking for a substantial coastal residence with considerable flexibility.
It has a large gated driveway with parking for several vehicles and gardens that surround the house and give views towards the Solent.
The property is just moments from Appley Beach and within easy reach of Ryde town centre and its amenities.
It also has a fascinating history.
During the Second World War, the upper floor of the house was reportedly requisitioned for military use, with an Army officer occupying the top of the property as a coastal lookout.
