Old Town, Cowes, Isle of Wight

A charming period town house occupying a prime position within the Old Town Conservation Area with a garage, garden and sea views

17 Market Hill - This characterful period house provides accommodation over four storeys with some really nicely proportioned principal rooms. The property underwent extensive works around twenty years ago when it was purchased including rewiring and a new roof. The house is not listed and would now benefit from some modernisation. It has an attractive west facing courtyard garden to the rear as well as an integral garage capable of housing a medium-sized car with ample additional space for a tender above.

The property occupies a great position on Market Hill with some good views over both the town and Solent as well as towards Northwood Park to the rear. Cowes is world-renowned for its sailing and yachting facilities and benefits from a good range of independent shops, restaurants and bars. The Red Jet ferry terminal provides regular high speed (25 mins) passenger ferry services to Southampton, (with onward rail links enabling London Waterloo to be reached in less than 2 hours).
