A remarkable 1930s detached house offers breathtaking sea views that can be enjoyed from multiple levels. The stunning sea views are undoubtedly one of the highlights of this home, creating a wonderful backdrop.

A deceptively spacious detached 1930s home
Over three storeys and with the most wonderful panoramic sea views from all rooms at the rear of the house, as well as the patio, garden, observatory and second floor roof terrace. Along with 5 bedrooms, there is a modern kitchen, breakfast area, large sitting room and separate dining room. Other rooms include an art studio/hobby room, study, sun room, utility and observatory. The outside area is equally generous with an original air raid shelter, two garden stores and a large garage/workshop/boat house with direct access to Albany Road. This home has so much to offer and must be viewed.

Interior
With many traditional features including the original doors, this home has many surprising and delightful points of interest throughout. In the downstairs study and hallway are superb original stained glass windows reportedly from Whippingham Church.

Ground Floor:

Entering a useful lobby that opens to a hallway with a convenient understairs cupboard for storage and outdoor clothing. There is a study and large dining room, with bay window, at the fore of the property and a spacious sunny sitting room which has half height oak panelling around the room and double patio doors that open out to the patio.
The kitchen is stylish and modern with plenty of white wall and base units which are finished with a resin worksurface that continues on the kitchen island. Within these units are an integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, double oven and four zone hob. There is a step down to the breakfast area with its direct views through to Cowes, this leads off to a utility area - with space and plumbing for a washing machine - and a cloakroom. The final room is a lovely sun room that gives another access point to the garden.

First Floor:

This floor has four bedrooms and the family bathroom.
Overlooking the front of the property are a single and double bedroom, the double is generously sized and has a bay window. There is a further double bedroom with the great sea views, and a single bedroom that leads to an observatory area which gives another viewpoint to enjoy the seascapes. The large family bathroom has a bath as well as a walk in shower cubicle, basin and wc.

Exterior
There is paved parking for three vehicles with mature bushes around the front of the property and a side path to the sheltered lean-to that gives storage and additional access to the house. The west facing rear garden has many and varied storage spaces. On the spacious patio, adjacent to the house, there are two garden stores - both with power and light - and on the opposite side is a reminder of days gone by, an air raid shelter that is now used for storage. Steps go down to the garden that reaches a further outbuilding that has direct access to the road. This has been used for a variety of purposes, as a garage, workshop and boat house. It has power and light and a convenient log burner. The gardens between the house and workshop have a central path and lawned either side with an array of mature plants including palms, a pear tree, mimosa, fig and cordylines. This quiet and relaxing space is a fantastic spot to watch the ever changing seascape.

East Cowes
East Cowes is home to historic Osborne House, the holiday residence of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, now an English Heritage property available for visits throughout the year and has a golf club within its grounds. The town itself has many shops and amenities including a major supermarket, pubs and restaurants. The Esplanade has a cafe, park and tennis court, as well as the Red Funnel car ferry to Southampton. A short trip on the chain ferry will transport you to Cowes and all its further delights.
