Glenholme House

A fine and substantial period house situated within the old town a short walk from the town centre and Red Jet ferry.

Glenholme House is a large - 3,250 sq ft – family home with accommodation extending over four floors, with a walled garden and off street parking. Located in an elevated position within the ‘Old Town’, near Northwood Park with its tennis courts, Glenholme is just a few minutes walk from the Red Jet Ferry Terminal with frequent crossings to Southampton. The various yacht clubs, marinas, range of local shops, restaurants and bars within this world-renowned centre of yachting are all easily accessed

With fantastic entertaining space, catering facilities and a south facing terrace in the garden, this is a house with flexible accommodation that can adapt for large groups of people. It has an established history of generating considerable sums for short lets for the various sailing regattas.

This is a rare opportunity to own an easy to maintain, ‘lock up and go’, modernised family home within a stunning Victorian period town house, in a prime location.

Well–loved by its current owners, Glenholme House is ready to move into. It is well maintained with double-glazed windows to the front and annual servicing on all plumbing and electrics. This kind of property rarely comes to the market and is ‘a must see’ opportunity.

Westbourne House

Be the envy of Cowes with this Grade II-listed waterfront property including its own slipway.

Built in 1752 by Stephen Day, it formed one half of Birmingham Hall, the other part being known as Medina House. A plaque on the outside wall records the birth of Thomas Arnold in June 1795, who later became the Headmaster of Rugby School, an institution noted as one of the best amongst English public schools of the day. The home later became a private school for girls in the 1920s, which is when it became known as Westbourne House.

Today the property retains the elegance of the Georgian period, with features that include an imposing façade of neoclassical style with stucco columns and an original front door that opens to an impressive hallway. Large sash windows allow the south-facing front of the home a beautiful quality of light. Arranged over four storeys, Westbourne House has rooms that offer versatility of use, and include four double bedrooms, three with en-suites; a large office; a snug that opens to a full width terrace; a large formal drawing room; an artist’s studio and a welcoming kitchen/breakfast room which is truly the heart of the home. All the rooms at the rear of the property enjoy superb views of Cowes Harbour across to Portsmouth and the mainland.

The slipway is a huge and sought-after asset to this property. It is large and recently refurbished, offering a home for watercraft, secure parking for your cars and a place to sit and enjoy the comings and goings on the water. The property has all the amenities that Cowes Town has to offer right on its doorstep, including sailing and yacht clubs, restaurants, bars and shops.
