Lyon Court

Lyon Court is a beautiful Victorian house in a countryside setting, tastefully converted into individual apartments.  It overlooks Shanklin Down, yet is close to bus & train routes, and only 10 minutes walk to Shanklin Old Village or 15 minutes walk to the beach.

The Garden Apartment:  

This has recently been refurbished to a very high standard and takes up the entire storey at garden level. With the ceiling height in excess of eight feet in most rooms, stylish dimmable LED downlights throughout and large windows and doors, it makes for a very bright, airy apartment. There is underfloor heating with porcelain, vintage wood effect floor tiling throughout, giving it a Mediterranean feel.

The kitchen is equipped with a family sized fridge/freezer, a range cooker with two ovens, a grill and an induction hob with five burners, a full sized dishwasher and a dedicated wine cooler which is perfect when catering for eight people!

We were unable to buy a kettle that would make eight cups of tea at once, so we have installed a Grohe instant boiling water system in the kitchen so that everyone can have their morning tea/coffee at the same time.

The dining area has a large table and seating for everyone with a large chandelier above. There are French doors that open out on to the South facing terrace overlooking the gardens and pool. 

The lounge area is equipped with a 49" smart flatscreen TV and comfy seating for when you fancy chilling out. Guests are able to connect to their Netflix/Amazon Prime accounts from the TV too.

A wireless access point has also been installed, giving a fast wifi connection throughout the whole apartment and on the terrace.

With regards to accessibility, there are 8 steps down to the Garden Apartment from the car park at the front of house, then the apartment is all on the same level.

This bright and airy double aspect room has a southerly view along the side of the house to the gardens and pool; it also overlooks the terrace, and benefits from the evening sun.

We have allocated a large 42sqm terrace adjacent to the Garret for the sole use of Garret guests, embellished by tropical plants, with garden furniture for al fresco dining.

Please note The Garret sleeps 6 people and 2 of these beds are bunk beds, so ideal for 4 adults and 2 children. Additionally a cot can be provided for a baby but the total occupancy must not exceed 6.

The Old Stable is (as the name suggests) a stable converted into a studio apartment. Set in the secluded gardens of Lyon Court, it benefits from its own discrete south facing patio.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a full sized oven and hob, a vintage Bosch fridge freezer, microwave, toaster, kettle, with ample cupboard space, pots, pans, utensils, crockery and cutlery. The living area is well designed for either a couple or up to 3 guests (where at least one guest must be a child).  There is a daybed, a double bed and a table for up to three. There is also a 28" Smart TV connected to our satellite system that is Netflix/Disney/Amazon ready.

A wireless access point has also been installed, giving a fast wifi connection throughout the whole apartment and on the terrace.  A cot can also be accommodated if you really can't get away on your own!

With regard to accessibility, you can park on the same level as the Old Stable and there are no steps at all.
