Set on the Cowes waterfront, this compact two-bedroom apartment offers direct harbourside living with an allocated parking space and a share of a private pontoon (up to 5m mooring). The sitting/dining room opens onto a teak-effect balcony with Solent and harbour views — a peaceful, gated development within easy level walk of Cowes town centre, sailing clubs and the Red Jet link to Southampton.
The accommodation is neatly arranged on a single level and will suit couples, downsizers or buyers seeking a low-footprint second home. Practical details are straightforward: double glazing installed after 2002, a long 999-year lease (extended Jan 2024), modest service charge (£1,700pa) and electric storage heating.
Notable constraints are material and must be considered: the property sits in a high flood-risk area and the pontoon/mooring may not be accessible at all states of the tide. Holiday letting is expressly NOT permitted. Ground rent figures quoted (£1,700) are high and will affect running costs; the home is heated by night storage/electric heaters which can be costly to run compared with central heating.
Overall this is a chain-free, waterfront apartment that delivers rare mooring access and town-centre convenience, best for buyers prioritising location and scenic views and who accept the flood risk, tidal access limits and higher ground rent when budgeting.
