Colonels House

A Luxurious Beachside Townhouse in the Heart of Sandown



Just steps from the golden sands of Sandown’s award-winning beach, this beautifully designed four-storey townhouse offers the perfect mix of style, space, and sea views – ideal for families, couples, or anyone looking for a relaxing island getaway.



Inside, you’ll find bright, contemporary interiors with luxurious touches throughout, including underfloor heating for year-round comfort and high-speed broadband to keep you connected. The heart of the home is the first floor, where a spacious open-plan living area boasts colourful sofas, a sleek kitchen with breakfast bar, and a dining space with views of the bay and the Downs. Floor-to-ceiling patio doors open onto a front-facing balcony, where you can sip a morning coffee or evening drink while watching ships drift past and the waves roll in.



With five beautifully appointed bedrooms spread across the ground and top floors, the house comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests (8 adults max). Each bedroom has a Smart TV, and many offer balcony access or stunning views over the sea or Brading Downs. The top floor king-size suite includes its own private balcony and en-suite, while another king-size bedroom opens to a large rear balcony with sun loungers and an L-shaped sofa – perfect for soaking up the afternoon sun.



Whether you're cooking a family meal, catching up on work at the built-in desk, or simply relaxing on one of the many balconies, this home is thoughtfully equipped for comfort and connection. A private driveway offers off-street parking, and with Sandown’s shops, cafes, restaurants, and seaside attractions just a short stroll away, you’ll have everything you need right on your doorstep.



Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a fun-filled family holiday, or a longer coastal retreat, this central, stylish townhouse puts you in the perfect spot to make the most of Sandown’s beautiful coastline – and feel right at home while you’re doing it.

LOCATION:



Glorious Sandown Bay is on your doorstep, and voted one of the Island’s best beaches, providing a long stretch of sand and great swimming waters. Along this stretch you can see the red sandstone through to the white chalk of Culver cliff, and it is around here that fossil remains can be found. Sandham Garden’s play area is just across the road from the apartment with go karting sky nets and crazy golf and children’s play area. A short flat walk further along towards Yaverland, and you will also find the Wild Heart Animal Sanctuary formerly the isle of Wight Zoo, famous for its big cats. The town of Sandown is brimming with attractions to entertain visitors, most of them right on the beach front itself, so you never have to stray too far from the golden sands. Should you enjoy a coastal walk, you can walk the length of Sandown Bay from Yaverland past the Pier along the seaside revetment all the way to the popular neighbouring town of Shanklin. If you are keen on an active holiday, the bay is hugely popular with water-sports, and you’ll certainly see people paddle boarding, surfing, catamaran and dingy sailing, windsurfing and kite surfing, depending on the weather.
