Description
Boasting sea views and spacious accommodation, this detached period home is within easy walking distance to local amenities and mainland travel links, and also benefits from a driveway plus low-maintance gardens.
Situated within the desirable seaport town of Cowes, 25 Moorgreen Road is believed to date back to the late Victorian era and offers a convenient coastal lifestyle with a wealth of amenities nearby. Presenting an exciting opportunity to modernise a characterful period property, this wonderful home still retains some original features such as high ceilings with decorative ceiling roses, traditional wall mouldings, imposing bay windows, and charming feature fireplaces. Full of natural light, the accommodation offers plenty of versatility and space with its two large reception rooms, three double-sized bedrooms, and bathroom facilities on each floor. A well-proportioned kitchen-diner provides a sociable family environment with access to a handy utility room, creating a separate space for laundry-related tasks.

Further desirable features of the property include driveway parking for one vehicle and gardens to the front and rear offering private, low-maintenance outdoor spaces.
25 Moorgreen Road boasts an enviable position just moments away from the bustling Esplanade and town centre of Cowes which is a magnet for the sailing community and plays host to the annual world-famous Cowes Week as well as being the starting point for the Round the Island Yacht race. Conveniently situated just a two-minute walk from a local convenience store, the property is also less than a 10 minute walk to the wonderful boutique shops, independent restaurants, bars, and cafes that Cowes has to offer along with the high-speed RedJet foot passenger service to Southampton. The town’s ‘twin’, East Cowes, is reached by chain ferry across the Medina estuary where there is a regular Red Funnel car ferry service to Southampton. East Cowes is also home to Queen Victoria’s magnificent former holiday residence, Osborne House, where you can enjoy a piece of British history and the rolling acres of the magnificent estate.
