Property description
This fine period home has been sympathetically restored to its original glory by its current owners.
Serving as a wonderful family home the property has a wealth of six double bedrooms and an extensive array of reception rooms, ideal for those who enjoy entertaining. The drawing room, dining room and orangerie have been thoughtfully separated by double doors which interlink these spaces – allowing this space to become one for large social gatherings.
Understood to have been built in 1896 for a director of JS White shipbuilders, there is a wonderful array of oak joinery. This includes attractive oak panelled doors, an impressive oak staircase and stained glass windows adorning the main entrance hall.
In addition to the interlinking reception rooms, there is a ground floor study, breakfast room and well equipped kitchen overlooking the large rear garden, with the addition of a ground floor cloakroom.
The four first floor bedrooms offer impressive fireplaces and are served by a family bathroom on this level. The second floor has a further two large bedrooms, again with beautiful fireplaces and impressive views to the Solent and the surrounding area. There is an additional store room / study on this floor and another family bathroom.
The outside of the house has a pretty front garden with a wealth of plants, framing the homes impressive exterior. The rear garden is larger than one would expect for a home within walking distance of the centre of Cowes and has been thoughtfully planted with an array of trees and shrubs allowing privacy and a fantastic area to enjoy for any keen gardeners.
What the Owner says:
This property has been a wonderful family home, accommodating large numbers of visiting friends and family.
The layout of the house works brilliantly both for large parties and smaller gatherings as the principal rooms can be opened up by the inter-communicating doors.
The garden is a wonderful peaceful oasis in town and the location is very convenient - only an eight minute walk to the Red Jet for a spot of shopping in Southampton, and Shepards Wharf Marina is less than a five minute stroll for those with boating interests!
