This charming holiday home, located in Cowes on the Isle of Wight, offers a unique blend of comfort and scenic beauty, accommodating up to four guests. The property is a beautifully converted former coach house situated just steps away from the Solent, providing breathtaking views of sailing boats and liners from the garden. Visitors can easily explore the vibrant town center of Cowes, renowned for its sailing week in August, with its boutique shops and excellent dining options. The nearby coastal resort of Gurnard, accessible via a pleasant stroll along the seafront, features a pub and a children’s play area, making it an ideal spot for families and couples alike.
Upon entering the property, guests are greeted by a sense of elegance, reminiscent of a mini castle, complete with beautifully landscaped grounds. The ground floor boasts underheated oak and tiled floors, enhancing the luxurious feel of the open-plan lounge and dining area. This space is designed for relaxation and entertainment, featuring large floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the stunning sea views, two comfortable sofas, a TV, and a Blu-ray player. A wood burner adds warmth during cooler evenings, while the dining table comfortably seats four, making it perfect for shared meals.
The contemporary kitchen is well-equipped with a range cooker and dishwasher, complemented by a separate utility room that houses a microwave, washing machine, and tumble dryer. The ground floor also features a delightful bedroom with a super king-size zip-and-link bed, which can be configured as twins upon request. This bedroom has patio doors leading out to the garden and an en suite bathroom with a shower over the bath. Additionally, a separate shower room is available on this level, ensuring convenience for all guests.
Accessed via an enclosed staircase, the upstairs double bedroom, located in the property’s octagonal tower, offers captivating sea views. However, it is important to note that this upper level is not suitable for young children due to the open staircase. Outside, guests can enjoy two terraces—one at the side for al fresco dining and another at the front with sea views—along with a shared lawn for relaxation. A private path leads directly to the seafront, enhancing the outdoor experience, while parking is conveniently available on the unrestricted road outside Briary Cottage.
