Interior - Leeway House is a beautifully renovated c1920s property, thoughtful updates that combines period character with modern living. Recently featured in Hello magazine, the home benefits from a comprehensive programme of improvements including a full rewire with new consumer unit, heritage-style radiators and fittings, plantation style blinds, stripped floorboards and the replacement of all three bathrooms. Generous room sizes and a flowing, versatile layout make it ideal as a family home or substantial second/holiday property, comfortably accommodating 8–10 guests.
Previously run as a successful holiday let, the property meets relevant requirements and offers further potential with approved planning permission (IOW Planning Ref: 22/00005/HOU) for a ground-floor extension to create a 7.5m x 5.5m kitchen/dining room with garden access.
Ground Floor:
An elegant entrance hall leads through to a beautiful sitting room open-plan to a snug/library with built in bespoke cabinetry. In the sitting room is a working log burner within the chimney breast and pretty tiled hearth beneath. The kitchen/diner combines traditional furnishings with a sleek design and forms a sociable space that can over flow to the outside dining terrace through double patio doors. A separate pantry, reached through original glass panelled doors, is home to a large drinks fridge (negotiable within sale) and further storage, within the kitchen there are a wide range of cream wall and base units that have an integrated oven and five ring gas hob. Following through to the rear of the property is access to the side passageway, a handy utility-room with space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble-dryer, additional storage cupboard, and a convenient WC and basin.
First Floor:
On this level is a family bathroom, complete with a claw foot bath, and two double bedrooms. There are far reaching views across Cowes to the Solent from both the bathroom and a rear bedroom with its double built in wardrobes, feature fireplace and half panelled wall. The front double bedroom also has a beautiful feature fireplace and surround, two built in wardrobes and French doors opening to a Juliett balcony. This generously sized room has an ensuite shower room with a tiled walk in shower cubicle, wc and basin.
Second Floor:
Two further spacious bedrooms, both with panelled walls are beautifully presented with the front bedroom having an ensuite shower room and the rear enjoying views to St Marys Church and further out to sea.
Exterior - The property comes complete with the added bonus of off street parking for up to two vehicles on a block paved driveway directly in front of the property.
The rear garden features a dining terrace of composite decking which provides a fabulous spot for alfresco dining. Created on a lower level there is a perfect seating/lounging area that leads down to a lower lawn with a built-in planter and a mature tree.
Cowes - Just a short downhill walk brings you to the buzzing high street of Cowes, rich in nautical heritage and an international mecca for sailing, including hosting the start of the famous Round the Island Race in July and culminating in Cowes Week held in August each year, this year celebrating the 200th anniversary. It has quick access to Southampton via the Red Jet as well as many marinas and sailing clubs dotted along the waterfront.
Within the High Street there are two supermarkets, many lovely boutique shops, pubs and eateries. Historical Northwood House & Park hosts weddings, fairs, concerts and conferences with outside space to enjoy walks. The chain ferry links Cowes to East Cowes where you can find the Red Funnel car and passenger ferry to the mainland. There is a regular bus service to Newport, with bus stop nearby.
