Description
This home offers an enviable coastal lifestyle in a well-regarded, purpose-built retirement development on Egypt Esplanade in Cowes. Situated on the first floor with lift access, this two-bedroom apartment enjoys lovely sea and garden views towards the Solent and is perfectly placed for level walks along the esplanade into Cowes and towards Gurnard.
A secure communal entrance with entry-phone system leads into an attractive shared hallway, with both stairs and lift serving all floors. The flat’s private front door, complete with spy hole, opens into a welcoming entrance hall with useful built-in storage housing the electric boiler and consumer unit, and a night storage heater.
The living room is a bright and comfortable space, with double glazed French doors opening onto a Juliette balcony that takes full advantage of the Solent and garden outlook. There is a feature fireplace with electric fire inset and a further night storage heater, and an open archway through to the kitchen creates a sociable, semi open plan feel.
The main bedroom is double size with built-in fitted wardrobes and a double-glazed window framing sea and garden views to the front elevation. It benefits from an en-suite shower room with large corner shower enclosure, further fitted cupboards, chrome heated towel rail and wall-mounted fan heater. The second bedroom also enjoys sea and garden views and provides additional built-in wardrobe storage along with an electric wall-mounted heater, making it ideal for guests, hobbies or a study. A separate shower room complete with handbasin and WC services the second bedroom.
Briary Court itself is a well-established retirement development for the over 55s, comprising 1- and 2-bedroom leasehold apartments built in 1990. Residents benefit from an on-site manager, a Careline/emergency call system, lifts to all floors, residents’ lounge, laundry facilities and guest accommodation, together with beautifully maintained communal gardens, patio areas and sun terraces that make the most of the waterfront position and panoramic views over the Solent.
The development is entirely electric with no gas supply to the building, offering a simple and modern approach to services. Allocated parking is provided within the grounds, and the setting is designed with safety, security and ease of living in mind.
Located on Egypt Esplanade, Briary Court sits on an attractive stretch of seafront with level walking into Cowes town centre, where you’ll find a good selection of shops, cafés and restaurants, as well as the Red Jet passenger service to Southampton. Gurnard, with its pretty bay and sailing club, is a pleasant stroll in the opposite direction. Bus stops and local amenities are within reasonable reach, making this an excellent option for those seeking a relaxed, well-connected coastal retirement home.
