A great choice at any time of year, this stylish detached cottage offers sea views, a delightful, enclosed garden, a cosy wood burner and easy access to the beach. The shops and eateries of vibrant Cowes are also close at hand, making this a great choice for either a family or one or two couples.
Enter the bungalow to find a spacious, light-filled lounge/diner decorated in soft, calm tones and with books and board games on the floor-to-ceiling shelves. Huge windows frame distant sea views, and seating surrounds a wood burner and a Smart TV. In the galley-style kitchen, the cook will find everything necessary to create delicious holiday meals, including a coffee machine, and there’s also a bright seating area which accesses the garden via several stone steps down. Three tranquil bedrooms decorated in delightful coastal tones lead off the hallway, sharing a family bathroom. The back garden is a treat in warm weather, and features a fire pit, outdoor dining furniture and comfortable seating, surrounded by pretty planting. A long driveway at the front provides off-road parking for up to two cars.
The property is located in a quiet residential area on the western edge of historic Cowes. For a day by the waves, pebble-and-shingle Gurnard Beach is 0.5 miles away. Backed by beach huts and a great children’s playground, this is the perfect spot to watch glorious sunsets, too. The harbour and a selection of pubs and restaurants are around 1.5 miles away, as are the Maritime Museum and Classic Boat Museum. Cross over to East Cowes to visit Osborne House, 9 miles, once Queen Victoria’s seaside home, or head to Blackgang Chine theme park, 13.5 miles, for a family day out.
