Property Description
Woodlands Vale is an impressive, imposing and architecturally significant Grade II* listed country home designed by the renowned Victorian architect Teulon in the French Renaissance style for Crimean War veteran Lord Calthorpe in 1870.
The house retains virtually all its original Victorian character and features including a Minton tiled floor, plaster ceilings, architrave and cornicing and some stunning stained-glass windows.
All of the main reception rooms have breathtaking views out to sea, working original fireplaces, wooden shutters which all open out into gardens through French doors - ideal for summer entertaining.
The original conservatory with double height ceiling and cupola was converted into a billiard room in 1894.
Much of the house has been subject to modernisation in recent years, whilst part of the west wing forms self-contained staff accommodation and an office. Whilst in sound condition externally, internally some rooms are unrestored but could provide further living accommodation or office space.
In addition within the last 3 years, much of the house has been re-roofed and new twin gas fired boilers installed for efficient central heating.
The picturesque, coastal village of Seaview is 1 mile away with a Yacht Club, range of shops, restaurants and hotel. Nearby Ryde, (which can also be accessed by a beachside path overlooking Appley Beach) has a wide range of shops and restaurants.
Much of the surrounding countryside is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with excellent walking and riding available on the network of country and coastal paths providing
some dramatic scenery ranging from beaches and coves to rolling downland.
In addition to sailing, a range of other water sports are enjoyed on
the waters of the Solent with the beach opposite providing excellent conditions for Kitesurfing.
Formal gardens include a wealth of mature specimen trees, large terraces from which there are fine coastal views, a Japanese Terrace, a croquet lawn and two summer houses. There is also a heated swimming pool installed in 2020. In all the grounds provide a stunning and beautifully private setting.
Beyond the haha is about 19 acres of parkland extending down to Springvale Road, which runs along the sea front from which there is direct beach access. There is also a private path that runs along the western side of the land providing access to within 100m of the beach. The garden and parkland is part of a Grade II Listed Park and Garden.
There were historic planning consents for holiday units within the grounds dating from the 1950s and 1960s. The remains of around 3500 sq ft of chalets still exist.
Services include, mains water, electricity, drainage and gas fired central heating.
