A former bus depot on the Island has a new destination in the run-up to Christmas.
The landmark location at 22 Pier Street, Ventnor is among 131 lots being sold online by Clive Emson, the regional land and property auctioneers.
Guided at £480-520,000, the freehold location comes with planning consent which includes 6 car parking spaces.
Rob Marchant, Clive Emson’s Island auctioneer, said:
“Empty for some years, the bus garage site now has planning consent to be demolished and replaced with an attractive scheme comprising 2 retail units and 10x 2-bedroom flats over 3 storeys.”
Other property and land on the Island are also being auctioned…

10 2 bed flats but only 6 car parking spaces. Where are all the other cars going to park?
Believe it or not, there are a lot of us who do not need or want the hassle of owning a car.
More flats. Yippee.
Would prefer it to stay as a Bus Depot, as it has been for over 60 years, with a few Bristol Lodekkas on site, and with Stan and Jack getting up to various high jinks at Blakey’s expense.
He’s working for Auntie Wainwright in Yorkshire now.
