Cowes Old Town, Isle of Wight

Full description

The parcel of land, extending to approximately 0.14 acre is situated adjacent to Market Hill and within the Conservation Area of the town, set back a short distance from the High Street where there is a slipway opposite into the harbour. The extensive range of shops and restaurants are within an easy walk as are the regular high-speed ferry services to Southampton and various yacht clubs. Cowes is world-renowned for its sailing hosting numerous high profile regattas each year.

Planning commission was granted in 2013 (reference P/00183/13 - TCP/30850/B) for the construction of a pair of semi-detached cottages. Consent was granted on the 23rd of July 2013 for a period of three years. As shown on the enclosed extracts the cottages were designed with a period theme and the accommodation is set over two floors. The ground floor accommodation would comprise an open-plan kitchen/ dining / living areas with cloakroom on the southern house and separate Kitchen and living room separated by a hall and cloakroom on the northern house whilst the first floor to both houses has two bedrooms and a bathroom.

The approved plans show both properties having rear gardens but in addition the adjacent sloping ground extending up to Market Hill is included in the sale. Part of this area could provide further potential, possibly for parking subject to receipt of the necessary consents. This planning consent was restricted by a large tree being on the site which has since been removed (and a young Holm Oak tree subject to a Tree Preservation Order has been planted on the site). The majority of planning conditions have been discharged. Copies of the planning consents are available upon request from the agents or from the planning portal.  

Services Mains water, electricity, gas and cable TV run adjacent to the property and drainage is available adjacent to 1 Ward Cottages. There is a disconnected electricity supply on the site.
