Western Penthouse
Occupying a prime front line position, this contemporary apartment block comprises just eight apartments in a select gated development also including 7 houses completed in 2007. This second floor penthouse apartment enjoys unrivalled views of sailing races and frequent shipping including cruise liners entering and exiting Southampton Water providing an interesting and ever-changing spectacle as well as summer sun sets. Being one of two penthouses, accessed by either stairs or lift, the accommodation is particularly light with the sea views enjoyed from the kitchen/ living room with its extensive glazed windows and doors as well as from two of the three bedrooms which all have Juliet balconies and built-in cupboards. The light interior has underfloor heating and a balcony runs the full width of the apartment. There are 2 covered parking spaces and a store.
This superb and sought-after location allows easy access to the amenities of Cowes, with the town centre being a level walk of around a third of a mile along the seafront to a good range of shops and restaurants as well as the high-speed Red Jet service to Southampton. Cowes is world-renowned for its sailing with numerous prestigious yacht clubs and is easily accessible from London.
