Set just a short walk away from the Medina River, this stylish period property has access to all that East Cowes and Cowes has to offer. This area is known for its strong links to the sailing community and there are many events to enjoy throughout the summer months. Cowes, which is just a short walk or drive (via the floating bridge), is home to Cowes Week, one of the longest-running sailing regattas in the world and this gorgeous house is the perfect base for both crew and spectators alike. Here you can enjoy exploring local pebbled beaches and a small town centre, which offers cafes, pubs and restaurants. Osborne House (1.5 miles) is a must-visit, offering a tranquil setting where you can stroll through the gardens or marvel at the opulence of the state apartments.
Enter this three-storey period property through the enclosed porch area, which is a perfect place to drop off beach shoes and wipe clean any muddy paws. From here you are met with a striking hallway leading firstly to an inviting dining room with a large banquet table, an excellent place to debrief after a long day out exploring the island. There is also a beautiful bay window with comfortable seating, ideal for watching the world go by. Heading back into the hallway, you’ll find the kitchen which is well equipped with a Range cooker with gas hob and electric ovens, dishwasher, coffee machine, fridge and microwave. In the corner of this country-style kitchen, you’ll also find a cosy corner table with built-in benches, the perfect place to plan the day’s adventures over breakfast.
