Description
Situated atop the Westpoint development (constructed in 2010), this spectacular penthouse apartment features private lift access directly into the property. The terrace with glass balustrading provides a wonderful vantage point over the Solent, ideal for taking in the maritime activity and evening sunsets. The bright interior centres on a generously proportioned open-plan kitchen living room offering ample space for both seating and dining. The accommodation comprises three double bedrooms, an en-suite shower room and a main bathroom complete with a sunken bath. The apartment includes a separate triple storage cupboard, utility area and individually controlled underfloor heating throughout.
Westpoint benefits from gated parking, where the penthouse is allocated a double space alongside mature communal gardens designed by a Chelsea Gold Medal winning landscape architect. The property is well positioned for a short walk to Gurnard Bay, offering easy access to its sailing club, seafront green, and local pub. Cowes town centre is approximately a mile away with its array of independent shops, eateries, world-class sailing facilities, and the high-speed ferry link to Southampton.
