Set on a large plot in desirable Baring Road, this detached four-double-bedroom house offers substantial family accommodation and immediate potential. The layout includes three reception rooms, a large kitchen, utility and internal access to the double garage—ideal for flexible living, home working or multi-generational use.
The property is chain free and ready for a comprehensive modernisation programme to bring it up to current tastes and efficiency standards. Key positives include generous room sizes, double glazing, mains gas central heating and excellent broadband and mobile connectivity—useful for remote working and streaming. Off-road parking for multiple vehicles and a private rear garden add outdoor appeal.
Buyers should note the house needs renovation: cosmetic updating throughout, garden tidy-up, and likely thermal improvement given assumed cavity walls with no insulation. There is a Veissmann boiler in the garage but the overall heating and services should be inspected. The area records higher-than-average crime statistics and council tax is relatively expensive (Band G), factors to consider for running costs and insurance.
For families, the location is strong—short walking distance to Cowes High Street, local shops, and several primary and secondary schools rated Good. For investors or renovators, the size, layout and parking create scope to add value through modernisation and landscaping. Viewing is recommended to assess the extent of works required and the potential to personalise this substantial home.
