Montpelier Cottage
This hidden gem occupies a quiet and highly convenient location within the Conservation Area close to various shops, bars, restaurants, Yacht Clubs and sailing facilities.
The high-speed Red Jet passenger ferry terminal with regular sailings to Southampton is within a few minutes' walk. This characterful cottage is oriented so the principal rooms all overlook the delightful garden which also serves as an excellent entertaining space. Believed to originally be the Groom's Cottage to the Ward Estate stables nearby, it is thought to have been built in the mid-19th Century. Historically planning permission was achieved for conversion of the roof space into further bedroom accommodation, from which there would be great sea views, (although this has now lapsed).
The cottage is set well back from Castle Road and accessed by a gated path (with lighting). Internally the cottage provides characterful and well-presented accommodation. There are antique stripped pine flooring to the entire ground floor (with exception of the bathroom) and the property is fitted with wooden framed double-glazed windows. Plantation shutters are fitted to all of the bedrooms.
