About this listing

This charming Grade II listed thatched cottage, believed to date back to around 1750, presents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly historic home in the heart of Northwood. Rich in character and architectural interest, the property sits within easy reach of the internationally renowned sailing town of Cowes, offering both heritage appeal and an enviable location. The cottage features an attractive L shaped layout, stuccoed elevations, and a beautifully preserved thatched roof. Distinctive period details include a brick bow with slate roof, a Gothic headed casement window, and a pointed brick addition that enhances the home's unique silhouette. Offered to the market for the first time in many years, the property has been lovingly enjoyed by generations of the same family and now awaits a new custodian to sensitively restore and modernise it. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers generous, flexible living spaces. A superb triple aspect sitting room spans the depth of the home, featuring the listed bay window and a wood burning stove, with views across the mature rear garden. The spacious dining room, also garden facing, provides a warm and inviting setting for entertaining, complete with a second wood burning stove. The kitchen offers ample cabinetry and space for a breakfast table, while the ground floor also includes a porch, utility room, shower room requiring refurbishment, a large family bathroom, and the original entrance hall. Upstairs, a substantial open landing, large enough to serve as an additional bedroom, leads to three further bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a generous double, while bedrooms two and three are smaller double bedrooms. Bedroom two also retains a charming porthole window, historically believed to have been used to signal passing ships. Set within mature, private grounds with established trees and shrubs, this unique cottage offers immense potential. With thoughtful renovation, it could become a beautifully restored historic home in one of the Isle of Wight's most desirable village settings. Please refer to the footnote regarding the services and appliances.
