This charming three-bedroom cottage is particularly ideal for sailors as it comes with a covenant that entitles the owner to a berth on the adjacent Island Harbour Marina. However, a private mooring is only one if its delightful attributes. There is just a private road between the cottage and the marina so it offers uninterrupted views across the harbour and the River Medina. This property is located just off a country lane that only goes as far as the water's edge so it is very quiet and, whether you are looking for a permanent home or a delightful holiday retreat, this very well-maintained cottage is a really comfortable home. From the moment you turn into the large block paved parking area, bordered by lawns and oak trees, that leads to the garage you can see it has great kerb appeal with its long sloping roof, chimney stack, cathedral style dormer windows and first floor balcony. Once inside the entrance hall the warm and friendly feel continues with the abundance of wood flooring that flows through parts of the ground floor including the double bedroom with an adjacent cloakroom and French doors to the garden. This would also make a delightful snug or an office for anyone working from home. There is a stunning and spacious triple aspect lounge/dining room with wonderful views across the river and the moorings. It has an attractive brick fireplace you can cosy up to on a cold winter's evening, a defined dining area with wood flooring and French doors to the conservatory that, in turn, has doors to the large rear terrace and garden. The kitchen has a raft of oak fronted units housing a double oven and a hob as well as stand-alone appliances including a fridge, dishwasher and washing machine. On the first floor you will find a spacious galleried landing and two double bedrooms. One has an en suite shower while the main bedroom has an en suite bathroom with a spa bath and separate shower as well as French doors to the balcony where you can sit over your morning coffee and enjoy the stunning views or revel in the evening sunsets. The cottage nestles in the midst of the garden that includes the large terrace, block paved frontage as well as lawns with shrub borders, shed and a green house.

What the Owner says:
I bought the property about six years ago as I wanted to have a berth for my boat and it has been delightful to be able to stroll across the road to the berth. However, I feel it is time for me to return to the mainland and hope that new owners will be able to enjoy the delights of this cottage. As well as being adjacent to the marina it is not far to the centre of Cowes with its independent shops, chandlers, bars and restaurants and views across the Solent. If you want to have a drink and a meal out without having to take the car you can wander along the river path to Newport Quay and the Bargeman's Rest where you can you enjoy good food and local entertainment. There are good primary and secondary schools in the vicinity as well as The Priory private school and, for boat owners, there are particularly important facilities including a 50-ton hoist and slip crane, boat builders and the repair shop.
