4 bedroom detached house for sale

Commanding panoramic 180-degree views over the Solent and Southampton Water, this outstanding three-storey detached residence perfectly embodies luxury coastal living. Extensively modernised and extended by its current owners, the property blends contemporary elegance with original character, creating a home of both sophistication and comfort. The approach to the house is via a private driveway with ample parking for multiple vehicles and boat storage, complemented by a detached pitched-roof garage. Inside, the home's exceptional quality is immediately apparent. A striking glazed staircase leads to the first floor, where an open-plan layout forms the vibrant heart of the home. The kitchen, finished with rich midnight-blue cabinetry and sleek quartzite worktops, offers generous workspace and storage. Engineered oak flooring flows through to a spacious dining area, where bi-fold doors open onto a large balcony, a perfect vantage point for alfresco dining and enjoying the captivating sea views and sunsets. Steps lead down to a dual-aspect sitting room, where full-height windows frame sweeping coastal vistas and flood the space with natural light. The thoughtful design ensures a seamless connection between the home's interiors and its stunning maritime surroundings. The ground floor accommodates three well-proportioned double bedrooms, two with sea views. The principal suite boasts garden access and a luxurious en-suite featuring a separate bath and walk-in shower. A utility room, family bathroom, cloakroom, and home office complete this level, offering practicality and flexibility for modern living.

The lower ground floor has been transformed into a self-contained one-bedroom apartment with its own entrance. Featuring a modern kitchen, spacious bedroom, contemporary wet room, and dual-aspect sitting room opening onto a decked terrace and landscaped gardens, this versatile space is ideal for guests, extended family, or rental income.

The tiered gardens are beautifully landscaped, incorporating original stone steps from the historic Nubia House that once occupied the site. Manicured lawns, vibrant planting, and a secluded patio with a hot tub create a tranquil outdoor retreat.

What the Owner says:
We have been fortunate to call this our home for the past 27 years, and it has been a true joy to live here - our grandson even calls it “his happy house.” Our family has shared many wonderful memories of gatherings together and watching the ever-changing activity on the water throughout the seasons.
There's always something to see, from cruise ships turning in front of our window to elegant tall ships, racing yachts, and of course, the excitement of Cowes Week when the Solent is alive with sail and full of energy. We also have front-row seats to watch the start of the Cowes–Torquay Power Boat Race, are regularly treated to the wonderful sight of a Spitfire flying by, and spectacular sunsets over Gurnard - they never fail to impress.
Parking outside the house is also a big advantage, especially during Cowes Week and other busy events when parking in the area is otherwise difficult and very limited.
The neighbourhood is peaceful and quiet - you can even hear a sail changing tack. It's a lovely community around here and just a short walk through Northwood Park to the town and the Red Jet to Southampton - it's everything that makes Cowes a great place to live.
After 27 years, it feels like the right time for us to start a new chapter. This has been a very happy house full of good memories, and we hope whoever lives here next will enjoy it as much as we have.
