Read the full agent description

A handsome family home offering plenty of space both inside and out whilst benefitting from a wonderful view over surrounding fields and onto the English Solent. You will be able to enjoy magnificent sunsets from the balcony, a westerly facing rear garden and a sociable home that has been extended on the ground floor to ensure catering for friends and family is a pleasure.

Situated on the boundaries of both Cowes and Gurnard, the property looks towards Gurnard village at the rear whilst offering the advantage of being able to walk in to Cowes High Street and the Esplanade with relative ease. Cowes offers a charming High Street with busy shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants all year round and the Redjet service to Southampton provides a quick catamaran service to the mainland with links to London.

Driveway parking to the front of the property with a garage/workshop space ensures that 21st Century family requirements for parking are well met. There is the addition of side access to the rear garden too. The outside space at the rear is of a superb size with a wonderful outlook and plenty of privacy. The garden is ideal for families and entertaining, the summer house is currently a very grand wendy house, whilst tucked away behind this is a greenhouse and working garden space. Those interested in history will also be pleased to find the property comes with a still intact Air Raid Shelter from WW2.

Internally, the property offers plenty of character and period charm. The original part of the property dates back to 1939. The ground floor has been extended quite substantially to ensure lots of living space, which includes a beautiful kitchen/breakfast room, large lounge and downstairs shower room plus a further reception room currently used as a formal dining space.

The first floor is accessed by the grand staircase which opens onto a bright and light landing with 3/4 bedrooms on the first floor, suitably complimented by a very well presented and maintained bathroom. Bedroom 4/study space adds a unique selling feature in that it offers a private balcony which overlooks the fields to the rear but also the waters of the English Solent.
