Belmore House was originally built for Lord Belmore, a founding member of the Royal Yacht Squadron, and occupies a prime position within Cowes’ Conservation Area, approximately 200 metres from the Squadron. The house enjoys uninterrupted views of the Solent, with a direct outlook over the renowned sailing waters. The property, listed Grade II, has been sensitively extended and refurbished in recent decades, combining period character with modern convenience. Principal rooms benefit from large sash windows, high ceilings and excellent natural light, with many original features retained. Cowes’ amenities, including a range of restaurants, shops and sailing facilities, are within easy walking distance. Fast passenger ferry services to Southampton (approximately 23 minutes) provide onward connections to London Waterloo and Southampton Airport.
