Cowes, Isle of Wight

This historic waterfront property presents a remarkable chance for renovation enthusiasts and investors. Alexandra House, originally constructed in 1831, retains its striking character while being in a shell condition, ready for transformation. Currently stripped to its stone walls with a newly installed slate roof, the building comes with lapsed planning consent that allows for significant expansion over four storeys along with an attractive two-storey side extension. The proposed enhancements include expansive glazing to the rear elevation, which will maximize picturesque views of the Harbour and Solent, creating bright living spaces. The property boasts valuable outdoor features such as direct water frontage, access to a private pontoon berth shared with neighboring properties, and parking facilities. With the potential for further development—including the option to add a swimming pool and new jetty—this Grade II listed property offers a unique canvas for crafting bespoke accommodation tailored to modern living needs. Located within the premier sailing hub of Cowes, it is well-positioned near local amenities including restaurants and yacht clubs while maintaining serene surroundings by the water. This is an excellent opportunity for those wishing to create a custom residence or investment in a desirable location.
