This magnificent Marine Villa, Winterbourne House, boasts a rich literary history and stunning southerly sea views, just a short walk from the beach in the sought-after coastal village of Bonchurch. Built in 1839, the property has been home to famous authors such as Charles Dickens, who wrote parts of his novel "David Copperfield" while residing there. The house features many original period details, including ornate fireplaces, shutters, and hardwood flooring. The principal rooms make the most of the breathtaking sea views, and the property's extensive gardens, which stretch to 1.4 acres, include a path leading to the beach. The house has been partially restored, but some areas require further work. The adjacent Hadfield Cottage, available as a separate lot, offers additional accommodation options. This unique property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of literary history in a beautiful coastal setting.
