Summary - SOMERTON VILLA, 218 NEWPORT ROAD COWES PO31 8PE
5 bed 3 bath Semi-Detached
Renovated family home with roof terrace and strong holiday-let potential.
Five bedrooms and three bathrooms, including principal en-suite and dressing room
This thoughtfully extended five-bedroom semi delivers generous, flexible living across multiple levels—well suited to a growing family seeking space and modern convenience. Newly renovated throughout, the home centres on a bright open-plan kitchen/dining/living area with skylight and tri-fold doors that frame far-reaching countryside views and open to a private courtyard and lawn. The principal bedroom includes a dressing area and en-suite, plus a roof terrace for elevated views and outdoor relaxation.
Ground-floor layout includes two bedrooms and a contemporary shower room, offering easy adaptation for a home office or guest suite. Good-size rooms, a separate utility, and substantial storage (large shed/workshop) add practical family functionality. Off-road parking for two to three cars and a covered side seating area increase everyday convenience.
The property's location on the outskirts of Cowes gives a quieter, semi-rural feel while keeping shops, bus routes and ferry links within easy reach—helpful for commuting and island living. The house also has clear short-term income potential as a year-round holiday let due to location and room count, though running a successful let will require holiday-management and local compliance.
Notable considerations: the area’s nearest primary (Lanesend) currently requires improvement at Ofsted, while other nearby primaries and the secondary school have Good reports. The property is an older build (c.1900–1929) and semi-detached, so purchasers should expect typical maintenance associated with period homes despite the recent renovation. Overall size is average for five bedrooms but rooms are generous.
