This chain-free first-floor one-bedroom home sits within a Victorian semi on a quiet Cowes street, a short walk from the town centre, transport links and local green spaces. At about 605 sq ft the layout is compact and practical: a bright reception with a bay window, separate kitchen/diner, double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a contemporary shower room. A good-sized rear garden and off-street parking add rare convenience for this type of property.
The flat is leasehold with 164 years remaining and a modest ground rent of £172 per year — straightforward for most buyers but important to note. The building dates from c.1900–1929 and retains period character, though the glazing was installed before 2002 and some internal areas show 1970s finishes and light wear; one room image suggests potential damp that should be investigated. Cavity walls appear to lack added insulation, so buyers considering energy improvements should budget for upgrades.
Ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers or investors seeking a low-maintenance town property near the coast, this home offers immediate move-in potential with clear scope to add value through targeted improvements. With very low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, the location suits modern life, while nearby schools and amenities make everyday living convenient.
