Shanklin Manor

Big Meade Park, with its open grassland, duck pond and children's play area, is right on the doorstep. Shanklin Old Village, lined with thatched cottages and independent shops, is a short walk away. The apartment itself occupies two floors of Shanklin Manor, a converted period building set in woodland grounds with shared access to parkland and gardens.

The ground floor is an open plan living and dining space with a kitchen at one end. Upstairs are two bedrooms—a double with ensuite shower and toilet, and a twin—plus a family bathroom with bath and shower. Throughout the property there's music and TV: a home cinema system and Freeview in the living area, and speakers in the bedrooms and bathrooms. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included.

The property sleeps four and is yours alone. One car can park on site. Smoking is not permitted. This suits couples and small families wanting a rural base with good access to the village and park.
