Entrance lobby, sitting room, dining room, breakfast room, kitchen, utility/study, 4 bedrooms, bedroom 5/dressing room, 2 bath/shower rooms. A good range of stone and timber outbuildings including a substantial workshop/boat store, garden and parking. In all about 0.8 acres. Red Cross Cottage is a charming stone property believed to date from the eighteenth century with a range of particularly characterful features ranging from circular chimneys to ornate leaded light windows. The property is set in extensive and mature gardens extending to approximately 0.8 acre (0.323 ha.) providing a wonderful setting for the property. There are numerous stone and timber outbuildings including a particularly large workshop/boat store,
further stores and garaging. Internally the house would benefit from modernisation but provides a great opportunity to acquire one of the older, established properties within Seaview in a prime location. The first floor is accessed via 2 separate staircases and there is potential to extend the property, subject to receipt of the necessary planning consents.

The property is within 150 metres of the sandy beach popular for its safe bathing dinghy sailing. There is easy access to the mainland (being approximately 2 miles from the high speed ferries from Ryde to Portsmouth) and with frequent car ferry services from Fishbourne to Portsmouth. As well as having a popular yacht club with an extensive social and sailing programme there is the renowned Seaview Hotel and
a range of shops making this a particularly sought after coastal village.
