A Beautifully Presented Semi-Detached Home

Located in a convenient area of Cowes within a short walk to town, this lovely 1940s three bedroom home has a large sunny sitting room and a fabulous orangery/conservatory. Along with a separate dining room, two bath/shower rooms there are two outside cabins, one currently used as an artists studio and the other as overflow accommodation but could become a garden office. This versatile home has beautiful gardens and off road parking, really must be seen to be appreciated.

Interior

This is a home that has been very well looked after, improved and extended without losing its sense of proportion that results in a space that feels bright and welcoming. The house feels open, but not exposed with each room leading naturally to the next.

Ground Floor:
Solid wood flooring runs through the ground floor, tying each space together with a quiet consistency. The bright hallway has the staircase directly ahead and flows around to the sitting room which sits at the front with its bay window that allows light to flood in. This spacious room opens through sliding doors into an orangery at the rear where the garden becomes part of the room, an easy place to settle into and a wonderful place to sit and relax.
The kitchen is arranged with cream wall and base units keeping the space bright, while integrated appliances including a four zone electric hob and double oven, a low-level fridge, pantry storage and space with plumbing for a dishwasher complete the room. From here the house opens again into the dining room that has tri-fold doors which draw the outside in, offering wide views across the garden and allowing the space to expand in warmer months. There is also a secondary sink here supporting the room’s role as both dining and entertaining space.
Beyond, a utility room provides further practicality with space and plumbing for a washing machine, room for a low-level freezer and ample storage. From here access is given to a modern shower room cleanly finished, set apart from the main bathroom upstairs.
A door leads on again to a covered storage area, ideal for bicycles, tools, or the accumulation of everyday things and gives direct access to the front of the property.

First Floor:
Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two double and a single along with a family bathroom. The two comfortable doubles both are fitted with built-in mirrored wardrobes that reflect both light and space and the third bedroom, a single, lends itself to become a study or a place set aside for quieter tasks.

The family bathroom is well-appointed with a fitted bath and overhead shower, WC and basin.

Exterior

The front garden is very well maintained and has blocked paved off road parking, lawn and mature shrubs and bushes. Double doors open to an internal storage area and further into the house and the entrance door leads to a glazed porchway.
The rear outside space is beautifully designed and a wonderful area with varied uses. A wide deep decked area stretches out forming an excellent space to relax in this peaceful garden as well as socialise. Stepping down to the lawn, which is divided by a stepping stone pathway, you are surrounded by many diverse established plants including a wonderful rambling rose and an acer which both form a riot of colour. At the end of the path is a garden store and passing through a wrought iron gate you reach two large cabins, one currently utilised as an artists studio and the other as overflow accommodation with plenty of space for a double bed and an adjoining storage area. This could also be transformed into a garden office or teenage den.

Cowes

Cowes is rich in nautical heritage and an international mecca for sailing, culminating in Cowes Week held in August each year. It has quick access to Southampton via the more modern Red Jet as well as many marinas and sailing clubs dotted along the waterfront.
Within the High Street there are two supermarkets, many boutique shops, pubs and eateries. Historical Northwood House & Park hosts weddings, fairs, concerts and conferences with outside space to enjoy walks. The chain ferry links Cowes to East Cowes where you can find the Red Funnel car and passenger ferry to the mainland.
