The PRINCE CONSORT was completed in 1847 and its foundation stone was laid by Prince Albert in the spring of the previous year. It was originally known as the Royal Victoria Yacht Club set up by Queen Victoria to rival the male-only Royal Yacht Squadron in Cowes - and apparently one of her very favourite places. The PENTHOUSE was a much more recent addition (within 2002) - offering modern luxury at the top of this iconic residence. Benefiting from a private entrance and LIFT ACCESS to the top floor, there is a magnificent 39ft+ open-plan living area (incorporating kitchen, sitting and dining areas) - with roof lanterns and French doors offering an abundance of natural light, with the latter leading to the large secluded decked ROOF TERRACE - perfect for entertaining/relaxing in total seclusion (bearing the original emblem). From this point are the most SPECTACULAR VIEWS across the busy Solent scene - taking in Osborne House as well as the mainland beyond. Beautiful curved doors lead to the 2 DOUBLE BEDROOMS - both with luxurious en suite facilities - and there is also a large utility room and 'cellar' storage (due to the depth between the Penthouse and apartment beneath). Further benefits include ample storage, gas central heating and an off street parking space. The Prince Consort is perfectly positioned moments from the long stretch of sandy beaches, Ryde marina, the Fast Cat and Hover mainland links, as well as the excellent town facilities including shops, bars and restaurants.
