Description
A delightful period cottage occupying a prime position within the Old Town with a pretty garden.
Penny Cottage - Originally a pair of period cottages, now combined to create a characterful and well-presented home with a light, largely open-plan living space to most of the ground floor, along with four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first and second floors. Whilst various characterful features remain, the house has modern comforts with gas fired central heating and uPVC framed double glazing. There are sea views from the main bedroom and the attractive rear garden includes terraces, various borders and a low maintenance lawn as well as having a gated side access.
Situated within the Conservation Area and Old Town of Cowes the cottage is a short walk from the various shops, restaurants, Yacht Clubs and mooring facilities. The nearby Red Jet high speed ferry terminal, provides regular crossings to Southampton, with a crossing time of about 25 minutes, whilst nearby Northwood Park has tennis courts. Cowes is world renowned for its sailing activity and the cottage is brilliantly situated to take advantage of both the sporting and social scene.
