Cowes, Isle of Wight

A charming and characterful cottage in a prime location offering light open-plan living, low-maintenance courtyard garden and views across the rooftops of Cowes to the Solent from the upper floors.

This attractive period home has been thoughtfully extended over time to create a superb open-plan kitchen and dining space complete with roof light lantern. The interior features white wooden floorboards, fireplaces and tasteful coastal décor which makes for a welcoming home that complements its central Cowes location. Arranged over three floors, including a versatile attic conversion, the property offers flexible accommodation, and the landscaped tiered courtyard garden provides a private, low maintenance outside space.

Set within a cul-de-sac off the main section of St. Marys Road, the property enjoys a surprisingly secluded position just a short walk from the bustling high street. Cowes is an internationally renowned sailing mecca with an array of independent shops, restaurants, bars and sailing clubs. The Red Jet High Speed passenger ferry is also a short walk away, providing regular high speed passenger ferry services to Southampton, with onward connections to London.
