Set just a stone’s throw from Cowes town centre, this Victorian mid-terrace cottage offers three bedrooms across three floors and a small rear garden. The house is offered chain free, freehold, and presents a clear project for a buyer happy to modernise and personalise.
Internally the layout is practical: a front lounge, kitchen/diner, bathroom on the ground floor and three bedrooms above, including a large loft-level third bedroom. The property benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and a compact footprint of about 775 sq ft — appealing to first-time buyers or buyers looking for a renovation with strong location value.
Important practical points: the house requires modernisation throughout and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so expect upgrade costs for insulation, décor, and possibly services. The area records higher crime levels, which some buyers may consider when weighing location benefits.
On the positive side, Cowes’ amenities, good local schools, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make this a convenient base. With a modest purchase price and council tax in a low band, the cottage offers scope to add value through sympathetic renovation while enjoying immediate proximity to shops, transport and community facilities.
