Summary - TIDES REACH 3 BIRMINGHAM ROAD COWES PO31 7NU
3 bed 2 bath Apartment
Spacious three-bedroom home with private 5m mooring and parking.
Harbour views and large balcony for seaside living
A rare waterside find in central Cowes, this three-bedroom flat pairs generous living space with direct harbour outlooks and a private 5m mooring entitlement. The open-plan living and dining room opens to a large balcony — ideal for watching the tide and entertaining. A principal bedroom with ensuite, two further double bedrooms and a practical separate kitchen complete the layout.
Practical strengths include a new 999-year lease (from 2024), share of freehold ownership, a dedicated off-street parking space and an undercroft storage shed. The property is sold chain-free and lies within easy walking distance of Cowes High Street amenities, marinas and transport links including the Red Jet to Southampton.
Buyers should note material costs: an annual service charge around £2,035 plus a pontoon contribution of about £500. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the building is at high risk of flooding — important for insurance and boat owners to consider. The apartment was built in the early 1990s and has double glazing added after 2002; some buyers may wish to update heating and kitchen fittings over time.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking a coastal family home or a boating enthusiast wanting a secure mooring and central location. Its long lease and share of freehold give ownership stability, while the flood risk and ongoing charges are clear practical considerations.
