Summary - 61 Ward Avenue PO31 8AZ
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Substantial family house with large garden and sweeping sea views.
Exceptional second-floor living room with panoramic Solent views
Occupying a prized position opposite Northwood Park, this substantial 1934 detached house delivers rare elevated views across the park and out to The Solent. The property’s standout feature is the impressive second-floor living room with extensive glazing and panoramic harbour and coastline outlooks; it’s a bright, flexible space ideal for family living or entertaining.
Set over three floors, the house offers generous accommodation including four bedrooms, a large kitchen with pantry, a conservatory and a sitting room with a wood-burning stove. The plot includes a wide driveway, integral garage (currently housing plant equipment) and a large south-westerly rear garden approximately 125 feet deep — excellent for children, gardening or potential extensions (subject to consents).
Practical strengths include recent low-temperature heating upgrades: a water-to-water heat pump plus solar thermal panels, double glazing and underfloor heating to the top floor. The house is freehold and in a very low crime, affluent area with quick access to Cowes town centre and the Red Jet ferry to Southampton.
Notable drawbacks: parts of the property require modernisation and renovation to bring rooms and finishes up to contemporary standards. The integral garage has been adapted as a plant room, reducing vehicle storage. Council Tax sits in Band F which will increase running costs. Any buyer should satisfy themselves about consents for alterations and review the heating/plant installation condition.
