This charming semi detached property is believed to originate from 1740 with subsequent extensions and is Listed Grade II. It benefits from a particularly impressive reception room currently combining a sitting room and dining area running the full depth of the property with lovely period French doors opening to the garden at the rear. The accommodation is arranged over three storeys and provides 5 bedrooms in all with a particularly spacious main bedroom. The house provides flexible, characterful accommodation and there is scope for some modernisation. There are sea glimpses from one of the second floor bedrooms. The property is tucked away and set behind a stone wall with a well stocked front garden and with a mature rear garden providing an attractive setting with a good sized garage/workshop backing onto Bernard Road.

The property is situated in a particularly convenient position being within easy walking distance of the range of shops and restaurants within the town centre and is approximately a 650m walk from the high speed Redjet passenger ferry terminal providing regular services to Southampton. Cowes is world renowned for its sailing and numerous Yacht Clubs and associated facilities are within easy reach.
