Formerly The King's House Bar, Wave House, which is based next to the derelict Ocean Hotel, Sandown was sold at auction for £351,017 in 2013.
Isle of Wight Hotels Ltd has applied for planning permission to turn Wave House, a ‘boarded up’ building at 30 High Street in Sandown, into a three-storey home with a garden looking onto the Esplanade.
Wave House has been ‘vacant for many years’, according to a Planning and Heritage Statement prepared by the applicant’s agent, Martin J Hayles.
It says: “The property was originally constructed as a dwelling, prior to being converted into commercial at ground floor level with residential being retained at first floor level and part lower ground floor level.

“Overall, the building is in a poor state of repair, particularly at lower ground floor level with no floors and standing water due to water penetrating through existing defective retaining walls.
“Many lorry loads of debris/rubbish have been removed from both inside the building and externally from open areas. The building is now boarded up and the site made secure.”
Mr Hayles added the application would bring a ‘redundant building’ back into use.
Proposed landscaping at the rear of the property would replace a ‘current dead space’ with ‘vibrant colour and life’.
The council’s public consultation on 25/00692/FUL ends on June 27 and a decision is expected on July 17.
