      Description

      Historically Blenheim House along with the other large Victorian properties in Gate Lane were commissioned by Queen Victorian for sea captains and high ranking officers. Other uses at the time were as luxury villas for the high society that came to stay in the Bay. Fortunately many splendid features have been retained, the pretty façade with Veranda and tiled floor spanning the entire front of the property, deep skirting boards, high ceilings, attractive fireplaces, original doors and of course the twisted spindles under the elegant sweeping handrail to the staircase. The proportions of the accommodation continue throughout and briefly comprise of a dining room and drawing room to the front, a study, library, and pool room towards the rear as well as a semi open plan kitchen/breakfast room and bar which link to the rear terrace. The first floor provides five double bedrooms (4 with enuite shower rooms) a guest suite with shower room ensuite, a single bedroom with ensuite and a family bathroom. The house also offers great potential to create a spacious annex for family members or to create an income in such a popular location.

      Pleasantly situated in the conservation area of Freshwater Bay, this property offers convenient access onto Tennyson Down via a public bridleway almost opposite the property together with access to the SSSI protected Afton Nature Reserve, Freshwater Bay Golf club and the beach.
