Cyprus House, a detached 6-bedroom house “for improvement or development”, is at the end of a driveway accessed off Victoria Avenue, Shanklin. With a freehold guide price of £575,000 – £600,000, the property, with accommodation over four floors, is on 0.59 acres and is comes with vacant possession. Rob said:
“Four of the bedrooms have en-suite facilities and there is access to an attractive terrace from the bedrooms and many reception rooms overlooking the impressive garden. “On the lower level there is a games room, further storage rooms, an additional shower room and a playroom which has the foundations already dug for the installation of a swimming pool under the timber floor which has access to the patio and gardens. “There is ample parking on the driveway at the front with vehicular access available directly into the garden. “The property requires a significant programme of refurbishment but is worthy of such a scheme, after which it could be a splendid family home or weekend retreat. “Alternative uses such as guest house accommodation, holiday home let, rental investment or perhaps site re-development to offer multiple dwellings may be possible, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.”

At 2 Kent Road, Ventnor, a 3/4-bedroom town centre house has a freehold guide price of £140,000-plus; Rob said the property, with vacant possession, is considered worthy of the “significant upgrading and refurbishment required”.

Rob said:
“Although previously arranged as three lock-up units, 52 and 52A, which are at present vacant, have been inter-connected by a previous tenant to provide a larger single trading unit but could revert to separate smaller lock-ups if required, subject to all required consents being obtainable. “The third unit, 52B, is at present let under the terms of a commercial lease and trading as a barber shop.”
Freehold land on the east side of 9 Woodvale Road, Cowes, on 0.67 acres, has a guide price of £25,000 – £30,000 and is described as “overgrown”. 
A 5-bedroom detached house called Camp View, at Rew Street, Gurnard, Cowes, is guided freehold at £260,000 – £280,000, with vacant possession. Rob said:
“Located in a semi-rural position, on the outskirts of Gurnard and Cowes, this property was originally a pair of farm cottages but is now one five-bedroom house. “The property sits within a plot that extends to a third of an acre, with gardens to the side and front. It is considered there is scope to divide the property back into two smaller cottages, if desired (indeed the upstairs accommodation is still split into two), or renovation of the whole to form a substantial family home.”
We need some tranny and woke mix it up a bit then everything will be normal
Vote Labour for the weird and wonderful and all your dreams will ruin life, but the mentally ill are too sick to realise or even care.
Everything massively undervalued to real market value so this is nothing more than click bait to draw in the fools who think they will get it at or near the guide price.
Stop press:
64 Lesson road has wrongly been described as being 0.5 miles as the crow flies from the sea.
Today, it is 04 miles, and, perhaps by the time of the auction, the lucky buyer may be able to fish with and hang line from the living room window.
A joke, but could so easily become fact. No wonder it is to be auctioned. Likely the insurance on all such will cause few locals to buy such properties, so need outsiders who are under pressure to buy, hence the auction listing.
The whole of Ventnor is now prity much worthless, cash buy only, there will be some very cheep houses down that way soon right on the sea
Property in Ventnor is a NO for me, soon you won’t be able to
gain access to them.
I will pass on the Ventnor ones
