Victoria Grove, East Cowes, PO32 6JJ

A splendid and elegant Victorian detached house, occupying an enviable position along leafy Victoria Grove in historic East Cowes.

Offering an abundance of space, character and potential, this substantial family home is arranged over three floors and is ideally placed for the town, parks, marinas and the convenient ferry links to the mainland.

From the moment of arrival, the house has an impressive sense of presence, with a grand reception entrance leading to a generous collection of reception rooms on the ground floor.

These include a comfortable lounge, separate dining room, kitchen and a particularly appealing breakfast room with direct access onto the outside terrace.

The accommodation continues over the first and second floors with five bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite facilities.

There are a number of attractive features throughout, including fireplaces, which add to the character and elegance of the property and provide a wonderful foundation for its next chapter.

The long rear garden (95m depth total plot) is another particularly appealing feature, offering plenty of scope for landscaping and establishing into a wonderful family garden.

There is space here for children to play, entertain, garden and simply enjoy the outdoors, with considerable potential to create something that is truly your own.

The house does require some updating and improvement, but this is very much part of its appeal.

Rather than buying someone else's finished vision, a new owner has the opportunity to bring their own ideas, style and personality to this impressive Victorian home.
