5 bed detached house for sale

Hunts Road, St. Lawrence, Ventnor PO38

Large plot - Enjoying a substantial double plot, Sandrock Cottage is a quirky and charming cottage, intriguingly tucked behind a large stone wall. This cottage was the retirement home of Mr and Mrs Leslie E. Pinches, of John Pinches Medallists - the dominant medallists in the UK from 1850 to 1971. Mr. Pinches’ workshop remains intact beside the garden pond. He personally created many commemorative medals, including those for King Edward VII, Sir Winston Churchill, and Sir Peter Scott. The Pinches firm also produced all the Olympic medals for the 1948 Games in London, which the current owner attended as the 14-year-old son of the proprietor.

The grounds are large and charming, and previously held outline planning permission (now expired) for an additional dwelling. The cottage itself, which would now benefit from some care and attention, is arranged as a 4/5-bedroom home with two reception rooms, plus a kitchen and bathroom. There is a link-detached double garage with utility room, and a couple of brick-built stores, in addition to the already-mentioned timber workshop within the grounds.
