3 Bed Cottage in Cowes

About this property

Cowes on the Isle of Wight is awash with yachting and Royal heritage. Visit the harbour to watch vessels heading into the Solent then visit Cowes Maritime Museum and the Classic Boat Museum. Cross the River Medina to East Cowes and just over a mile away where Queen Victoria’s beloved Osborne House dominates the landscape. On the southern side of the island, you’ll find some of the royal’s most-loved landmarks, including Ventnor Botanic Garden (15 miles) and nearby Blackgang Chine, the UK’s oldest family theme park. Closer to home, Gurnard Beach offers great views across the Solent – especially beautiful at sunset – while behind the beach huts there’s a children's playground. Follow the esplanade for a walk at the water’s edge to the iconic Royal Yacht Squadron. From there it’s just 300m into a town centre full of fashionable shops and a fine choice of inns and eateries – something for everyone!

Located in a quiet residential area, this lovely bungalow has a long private driveway where you can park and unpack at your own pace. Inside, subtle coastal styling flows throughout. Leave your outdoor gear in the hallway then turn left into a chic kitchen which has all the essentials of home. At the far end, a seating area is fabulously light and gives direct access to the rear garden. Sharing the same sunny outlook, the spacious living room has a large window framing distant sea views. Furnished with comfortable sofas, an armchair a dining suite, this room is sure to be the social hub of your holiday; stream a movie on the Smart TV or choose a book from the shelves and unwind before the wood burner. When it’s time to sleep, three inviting bedrooms are also off the hallway. The first is a cheerful children’s room complete with bunk beds, while the second offers flexibility with a zip-and-link king-size bed which can be arranged as two singles if preferred. The third bedroom has a comfortable double bed, and all three are complemented by a contemporary family bathroom that includes a shower over the bath so you have the option of a quick rinse or a more leisurely soak.

A lawned garden with seasonal borders edges the driveway at the front of the property, while at the rear the private patio-style garden is filled with mature plants and colourful flowers. Well-placed garden furniture and a fire pit create the ideal setting for al fresco food and drinks.
