Apartment 3, Melcombe House

Set in a quiet, elevated position on the seafront, the apartment enjoys truly wonderful and panoramic views of The Solent and all of its sailing activity. Being in such a prime position the many yacht races can be enjoyed from every window of the apartment along with seeing the impressive cruise liners passing into and out of Southampton Waters.

This stunning apartment is situated on the second floor of this Victorian building, which houses a total of 4 apartments. The majority of accommodation is on the second floor, with a staircase leading up to the spacious bedroom suite enjoying an impressive panorama from the Velux ‘step out’ window balcony; a particularly good spot to enjoy the sunshine and watch the sunset over the Western Solent. There is also a shower room en-suite. The apartment has been modernised and well-maintained. It provides light, spacious, well balanced accommodation and would therefore work well as either a permanent or second home. The open-plan living dining room is a wonderful feature that must be seen to be appreciated. A generous, dual aspect room with natural light flooding the space and enjoying the sea views from both aspects. On the same floor is a good-sized family bathroom and kitchen, both enjoying views of the Eastern Solent. There is a spacious double bedroom with views you can enjoy from the moment you wake up. From the private driveway there are allocated and visitor parking spaces and communal lawned gardens. With close proximity to the seafront, the apartment provides a great overall package.

Equidistant between Cowes and Gurnard, you can enjoy a level walk by the coast, either to Gurnard, with its popular sailing club, beach and selection of pub restaurants, or in the other direction towards Cowes with its High Street offering an array of independent shops, restaurants and bars as well as access to the high speed ferry service to Southampton and onward connections to London.
