Currently a 6 bedroom house, the property can be subdivided as follows:
Ground Floor – Drawing room, kitchen/dining room, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and covered terrace.
First Floor – Drawing Room, kitchen/dining room, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms.
Superb roof terrace.
Formally a theatre, the property now provides a substantial home with the flexibility for the first and ground floors to be occupied independently, (being ideal for guests and crews to enjoy their own privacy). In around 2000 the property was converted for residential use including installation of new plumbing, heating and electrical systems and installation of kitchens and bathrooms which now results in well presented accommodation. The rooms are of good proportions and with generous ceiling heights resulting in a spacious feel. There are views of the River Medina from a number of the first floor rooms and there is a superb roof terrace which, given the elevated location on Sun Hill provides panoramic sea views.
The property has proved popular for lettings for key sailing events with the benefit of having the flexibility to let out one floor only. Within easy reach of the town’s amenities the apartments are within the Conservation Area of Cowes. Internationally renowned for sailing, Cowes has numerous yacht clubs and associated facilities for water based activity in addition to a good range of shops. Being a major Island gateway, there is a fast passenger ferry to Southampton taking about 23 minutes and a car ferry from East Cowes also to Southampton taking about 55 minutes. The island itself has areas of unspoilt countryside and coastline where a wide variety of recreational pursuits can be enjoyed. Newport and other towns on the Island provide a good range of increasingly sophisticated facilities and services.
