This three-bedroom end-of-terrace on Vectis Road is a practical, chain-free opportunity for a first-time buyer prepared to renovate. At around 819 sq ft, the layout includes two reception rooms, a compact kitchen and a rear garden with outbuilding — enough space to create a comfortable family home in East Cowes.
The house requires full modernisation: finishes are dated, glazing predates 2002, heating is via electric storage heaters and walls lack cavity insulation. The current EPC rating is E. These factors mean investment is needed for energy efficiency and comfort, but also open scope to add value through targeted upgrades.
Externally the plot is small and the front and rear gardens need attention — the rear is low-maintenance with artificial lawn and storage but the exterior shows general wear. Practical positives include freehold tenure, no flood risk, fast broadband, close proximity to schools, recreation grounds and the Red Funnel ferry, and a low council tax band.
Buyers should weigh the renovation work against the property’s price and location. For a buyer willing to update heating, insulation and internal finishes, this property offers an affordable entry into East Cowes with real potential to improve energy performance and market value.
