About this property

Built in 1860 and steeped in fascinating history, this distinguished double-fronted Victorian home is a rare jewel. Local legend recalls that Queen Victoria and Prince Albert would pause here while travelling between Ventnor and Osborne, and the house still carries the grace and presence of its regal visitors.
