Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Four floor period town house with river views
  • Spacious light filled rooms throughout
  • Numerous character features
  • In the sought after Cowes Old Town with an established well planted garden
  • Walk to the shops, restaurants, marina and Southampton commuter links

This impressive five-bedroom Georgian townhouse is located in the highly sought after Old Town. Arranged over four floors with two half landings, this character property has undergone careful renovation to create the perfect family home.

Period features include sliding-sash bay windows, doorcase with pilasters, pediment, semi-circular tympanum and a door of 3 moulded panels, with stained glass sailing design. The front has cast iron railings.

Inside the traditional features continue with exposed wooden floorboards and several original fireplaces. Modern upgrades include a new boiler and pressurised water system and a Charnwood Aire highly efficient log burning stove with a crystal clear burn. The main living areas are spread across two floors with an open plan kitchen / dining area on the lower garden floor, with new units and a fabulous and dual fuel Rangemaster cooker. The dining area can comfortably seat ten around a table and in the summer months the French doors open onto a delightful patio, which catches the morning sun. There's a further living room on this floor that's currently used as a games room that would make a lovely snug or home office. Conveniently, there's a shower room with loo here too. On the ground floor you'll find the spacious sitting room that enjoys views across the adjacent Northwood Park, framed by wide bay windows which get the evening sun. A Charnwood log burning stove is set into the original fireplace.

On the first floor is a large bedroom with its own balcony - the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee - as well as a newly fitted en-suite shower room. The second floor is split over two levels, across which you'll find two good sized double bedrooms, the master with gorgeous original wooden floor, a bay window with a lovely view over the park, plus an ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe; the second boasts far reaching views of the marina and sea beyond it. There's also a family bathroom on this floor and on the top floor are two further twin bedrooms enjoying the best sea views of all.

What the Owner says:
Cowes is the historical yachting capital of the world and this property is situated in the much sought-after Old Town, directly opposite Northwood Park. This is a bonus as there are new tennis courts, a playground and lots of space for dog walking.
It is also within a short stroll of the yacht clubs, marina, bars and restaurants and there is a large M&S Foodhall just 100 yards from the garden gate.

The house is currently a successful holiday rental, winning a Traveller's Choice award each year since 2020. Guests love the charm, convenience and layout of the house as there is always somewhere to escape to read a book, even when there are two families staying. Many guests are repeat customers.

Although Cowes is famous for yachting and the Cowes Week, there are numerous other regattas and events throughout the year such as The Literary Festival and Isle of Wight Proms at nearby Northwood House.

Cowes' pedestrianised High Street has some lovely independent shops, an excellent butcher, several bakeries, and a host of boutiques and galleries. It is also a great place to go out with its cafes, bars, pubs and some world class restaurants such as The Heron and Smoking Lobster.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
