June Property of the Month - A period house with seaviews set in stunning gardens a short walk from Cowes seafront

Mimosa Lodge is believed to originate from around 1850 and was refurbished to a high standard in 2001/2002 by well respected local builders J R Buckett & Son. These comprehensive works included renewal of electrical, plumbing and heating systems and alterations to the layout of the house to provide a really good quality and comfortable home that has been modernised sympathetically retaining an array of original features. The accommodation is set over 3 storeys with the principal entrance to the front of the house leading into a spacious entrance hall on the first floor. The reception rooms are found on both the ground and first floors. There are 3 bedroom suites, each with their own bathroom, with the principal suite occupying the second floor having a balcony and panoramic sea views. The elegant drawing room has high ceilings and a bay window overlooking the garden, with the adjacent snug having access into the garden. The mature gardens to the rear of the house are beautifully planted and form a wonderful setting.

The house is just over half a mile from the centre of Cowes, world renowned for its sailing activities including the JP Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race which takes place on Saturday 25 June 2011.

There area good range of shops and restaurants as well as a high speed ferry service to Southampton (taking approximately 20 minutes). Walks along the sea front either lead into town, passing The Royal Yacht Squadron or towards Gurnard with its sailing club and beachside eateries. There is also a golf course nearby.
