An architecturally designed house in Ventnor on the Isle of Wight, with uninterrupted views of the English Channel is to be auctioned with a guide price of £195,000-plus.  

The unique property, called Moonshine, is among 167 lots listed by Clive Emson Auctioneers across southern England in the firm’s auction which ends on 1 May.

James Emson, Managing Director, said: “We’ve received scores of instructions from clients to sell all manner of property and land, including Moonshine with its distinctive copper curved roof and open-plan living space.

“Unfortunately, in common with the other properties in the area, the four-bedroom house was affected by a landslip, losing part of its extensive grounds and suffering from some structural damage, hence the guide price.

“Moonshine retains an attractive plot with landscaped gardens and affords stunning views of the English Channel. We anticipate keen interest in lot 106 because of its unique design and location.”
