Coastguard Cottage - Located in a quiet road with wide and far reaching views across the Solent from the property and garden, this home has two reception rooms, kitchen, downstairs bathroom, three bedrooms and a garden with superb uninterrupted views across Cowes harbour and the Solent.
History - This row of historical buildings was built in 1874 and has a commanding view out over the harbour entrance. Forward thinking for its time, with a 'cavity wall build system' introduced from Europe and championed by Prince Albert himself.
This Grade 2 listed terrace cottage is ready for you to put your own stamp on it as it would benefit from general refurbishment.
Interior - The cottage is accessed across a courtyard area with steps up to the cottage, the door opens to a lobby that contains storage cupboards which also house the gas boiler. The bathroom is directly ahead providing a white suite with bath and shower over, WC and wash basin. The lobby then leads to the kitchen, which is fitted with a modern range of base and wall units, integrated electric oven and hob with spaces for fridge/freezer and washing machine. A sink is set underneath a window that looks over the courtyard. The kitchen conveniently opens to the dining room with a large window to the courtyard. Stairs rise to the first floor.
From the dining room through to a good sized second reception room with period windows and door that opens out onto a raised decked terrace, from where the most excellent uninterrupted views across the harbour to West Cowes and beyond can be enjoyed. A garden of moderate size has a fence and gate that opens to a green area.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms that have original feature fireplaces and built in cupboards, the third room is a single or could be utilised as an office. The two rear rooms enjoy those fantastic views of the harbour and Solent.
Exterior - The cottage is accessed from Albany Road across a private courtyard and up a few steps that opens to an inner lobby. The courtyard could, with planning consent and a bit of thought, be changed into a parking area, alternatively a great garden space.
The main garden is off the sitting room and enjoys simply fabulous views across the West Cowes and the Solent. It is currently a blank canvas for the green fingered garden enthusiast.
