11 SOLENT VIEW ROAD
Positioned along the popular Solent View Road, this impressive, detached family home enjoys a peaceful setting within the heart of the highly sought-after coastal village of Gurnard. The property sits in a gently elevated position to capture natural light and sea glimpses toward the Solent. The village shop, café, church and two friendly pubs are all within a short stroll. The much-loved Gurnard Sailing Club, dog-friendly beach and village green are just a few minutes’ walk away — the ideal spot for enjoying the area’s famous sunsets across the Western Solent and the varied water-based activities the bay has to offer. The nearby, internationally renowned sailing mecca of Cowes provides a vibrant high street filled with independent shops and restaurants as well as a high-speed Red Jet passenger ferry service to Southampton for convenient mainland connections.
Owned by the same family since 2007, this much-loved principal home has been thoughtfully updated over the years to create a warm and comfortably living environment. Improvements include the installation of a new kitchen, a modern downstairs shower room and elegant engineered oak flooring throughout the main ground floor living areas. The home features a cosy kitchen/ dining room with clear potential to extend and create a superb open-plan family space. Complemented by a beautifully proportioned sitting room with natural light and wide sliding doors that open onto the impressive, south-facing rear garden. This attractive and largely lawned garden makes the perfect setting for outdoor relaxation and entertaining.
To the front, a smart block-paved driveway provides parking for two vehicles. The ground floor also benefits from a large, versatile room with its own front and rear access, currently used for storage and as a utility area but offering excellent potential for conversion into a self-contained studio or additional living accommodation, subject to any necessary planning consents.
