Seller Insight

This fabulous property is within easy walking distance of the beautiful, sandy beach at Gurnard and the wonderful Woodvale Inn where you can enjoy all the sailing regattas and spectacular sea views whilst enjoying incredible food and drink. Another short walk away is Cowes, 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. From Cowes there is a cycle path that leads to Newport providing a scenic route alongside the river. As well as numerous picturesque and coastal walks within close proximity to places such as Thorness Bay.

Whilst there is a heavy focus on sailing locally, there are plenty of other, less nautical advantages to Cowes, such as its delightful, pedestrianised town with boutique shops, bars and restaurants. Just a couple of minutes across the Medina River on a chainlink ferry is its sister town East Cowes, which is home to Queen Victoria’s former residence, Osborne house. Both ports provide ferry services to Southampton, with Cowes offering a high-speed passenger catamaran and East Cowes a vehicle ferry service.*

Step inside The Heritage

This stunning property is set in extensive, beautiful grounds, surrounded by spectacular countryside, on the fringe of the renown sailing town of Cowes and the village of Gurnard, with the flexibility to be a remarkable family residence, a fantastic holiday retreat business or both!

The ground floor accommodation is abundant enough to be entirely adaptable to individual needs. The generous, attractive open plan kitchen -dining room affords ample space for this to be an additional living area. There are a further two reception rooms as well, meaning one or more could make an additional bedroom, a home office, a playroom or den – the possibilities are endless. There’s also a handy utility room that’s large enough to be a second kitchen - suggesting yet more possibilities for the functionality of this property – and a lovely, light conservatory - the perfect place to relax and absorb the simply stunning views of the gardens and countryside beyond.

The first floor has three double bedrooms, each with built in wardrobes and all of which boast spacious accommodation and spectacular rural views. The main bedroom benefits from its own en-suite bathroom whilst the remaining two bedrooms can enjoy the fabulous large walk in shower in the family bathroom.

Another huge asset to this property is the two gorgeous outbuildings. Both these outbuildings are set up with electricity and plumbing, and finished internally to a very high specification. One is currently used as an office and gym, with a built in store room that could easily be converted into a toilet, as well as an adjacent sheltered patio. The other is fully furnished, with a fitted kitchen, shower room, bedroom and living area, with two sets of bifold doors that open onto a delightful deck with yet more stunning views of the countryside and the property’s additional paddock, which has vehicular access and a hard standing area. Both are completely separate from the main property and in secluded locations within the grounds offering a potential holiday let situation.

To the front is a private driveway with ample parking for numerous vehicles and a pretty front garden of mostly plants an ornate trees. To the rear is the impressive garden – a wonderful combination of manicured lawn, trees and flowers, and entertaining space with electrics, all set within the backdrop of the island countryside at its finest. There are two garden sheds; one large with electrics – perfect for a workshop or similar, and a smaller one which has water access so ideal for pottering and gardening.
