Union Road, Cowes, Isle Of Wight, PO31

Standing pride of place at the top of the Old Town, in the world renowned sailing town of Cowes, lies this exquisite, six-bedroom, grade 2 listed Georgian townhouse. Originally built in 1802, this superb character property is arranged over four floors and displays charm and style throughout. The attention to every detail of this home is evident from the onset, beginning externally with the wrought iron fence, beautiful Victorian porcelain tiles on the front path, stained-glass windows and a door with an ornate canopy that is just stunning. Inside, the traditional features continue, on the ground floor, with a sizeable sitting room complete with exposed wooden floorboards, period fireplaces and dual aspect, stained glass windows. Along the hallway is the fabulous, contemporary kitchen, with both practical and stylish oak worktops, an impressive, dual fuel range cooker, integrated dishwasher and a delightful butlers sink. There's also a breakfast bar sitting between a window and the access door to one of two balconies that this home has to offer, overlooking the garden. Going down the pretty, wooden staircase to the lower ground floor, which features original flagstone flooring and fireplaces, there are a further two reception rooms – currently a home office and snug – both tastefully decorated to the same, exceptionally high standard. To the rear of this floor is a large, integrated garden room that was originally built as a coach house, as well as access to the pretty, secluded and enclosed garden. Also on this floor is a handy utility room and separate cloakroom.

On the first floor is the impressive main bedroom, which boasts direct access to the roof terrace garden with far reaching views of Cowes harbour, as well as access to the luxurious Jack and Jill bathroom, complete with traditional rolltop bathtub and separate level access shower. The remaining two bedrooms on this floor are both a good size and benefit from the same impeccable standard of decor and period features. To the second floor are three further double bedrooms, plus another lavish bathroom with another magnificent, freestanding bathtub. This floor boasts some spectacular views reaching across the town as far as the marina and sea beyond.

What the Owner says:

Cowes is world renowned for its designing, building and sailing of marine craft, and is home to the infamous international sailing festival ‘Cowes week', as well as numerous other yachting regattas throughout the year. Whilst there is a heavy focus on sailing, there are plenty of other, less nautical advantages to Cowes, such as its delightful, pedestrianised town with boutique shops and artisan bars and restaurants. A short walk along the promenade takes you to Gurnard that has a lovely, quiet beach, away from the bustling marina. Just a couple of minutes across the Medina River on a chain-link ferry is its sister town East Cowes, which is home to Queen Victoria's former residence, Osbourne house, and is subsequently steeped in history. Both ports provide public ferry services to Southampton, with Cowes offering a high-speed passenger catamaran and East Cowes a vehicle ferry service.
