47 Ward Avenue

The property occupies a highly sought-after location being less than a 10 minute walk from the town’s amenities and Red Jet with Northwood Park immediately opposite providing a picturesque setting that includes tennis courts and Northwood House which hosts various events throughout the year. Cowes is world-renowned for its sailing and yachting facilities and benefits from a good range of independent shops, restaurants and bars. The Red Jet ferry terminal provides regular high speed (25 mins) passenger ferry services to Southampton, (with onward rail links enabling London Waterloo to be reached in less than 2 hours).

The house has been substantially extended on the ground floor by the current owners to provide an exceptional open plan kitchen/living room with dining and seating areas, in addition to which, there is a separate sitting room, playroom and study. There are four double bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms. The comprehensive renovation of the property included the installation of new electrical and plumbing systems including underfloor heating throughout the kitchen/living room. The re-configuration of the house has included bi-fold doors to the garden as well as glazed internal doors and numerous roof lights to ensure excellent natural light. There are views over Northwood Park towards The Solent from the rooms at the front of the house.

An excellent Italian designer kitchen and CP Hart bathrooms have been installed. The house benefits from a generous plot providing a front garden with adjacent driveway providing parking along with a large rear, west facing garden with terraces and modern garden store, all of which combines to provide an excellent overall package of good quality accommodation and an excellent location.
