HOMES TO INSPIRE So rare, so stunning, so special… If you’re looking for the perfect property in the Cowes area, for seaside and sailing, then take a look at these three stunning homes, each with their own wow factor. These are rare, unique, and unusual properties that are seldom seen on the market. From a Victorian property with grandstand views of yacht racing in the Solent, to a modernised and extended Georgian cottage in Gurnard, and finally a cute beach house just a stone’s throw from Gurnard beach and sailing club.
Only a few minutes from central Cowes, just a short way along Princes Parade, The Summer House has its formal reception rooms on the first floor, ideal for making the best of its breathtaking Solent views. This attractive home has an array of period features, but also the advantage of a largely open-plan kitchen/living room on the ground floor which opens to the south facing flagstone paved terrace gardens. This floor also has two ensuite double bedrooms, each with wide bay windows to the sea views. The elegant drawing room on the first floor has double doors to a Juliet balcony and fabulous sea views over the Solent. There are three further bedrooms on this floor, along with a bathroom and study. Remodelled in 1998, and given a rear extension in 2006, this property is a sympathetic marriage of the Victorian period with 21st century comfort. Three cars can be parked on the block paved frontage of the property, which opens onto Cowes seafront and beach. Viewings with Spence Willard on 01983 200880 or Waterside Properties on 01983 300111
