About the home
“The Palm House” is a delightful single-storey family home in Cowes just a short walk from the popular Red Rocks Beach in Cowes and the Red Rocks Golf Course, and a quick drive from the supermarkets, restaurants & cafés of Cowes. Some of the many features of this lovely home are detailed below:
Indoor Areas
The huge light-filled open plan Lounge (with two 3-seater sofas facing each other to play board games as a group) features stunning high ceilings, overlooks the front garden and flows through to the open plan central Kitchen/Dining Room. Down two steps is the rear Living Room (with smart TV, nobo heater and gas fireplace) that overlooks the swimming pool and the rear yard. The Living Room provides access to Bedroom 1, which has a WIR and ensuite (with shower & toilet) and Bedroom 2, which also has an ensuite (with shower & toilet). A hallway off the Lounge that also loops behind the Kitchen, provides access to Bedrooms 3, 4 and 5 (each with BIR), a Bathroom (with shower) and a separate Toilet. There is a fourth Bathroom with separate Toilet that doubles as a fully equipped Laundry (with washing machine & clothes dryer) which is accessed from behind the Kitchen and also serves as a pool washoff area as it leads directly out to the Pool area.
Outdoor Areas
The covered rear Alfresco (with gas BBQ, seating for 10 & a ceiling fan) overlooks the enclosed rear yard, featuring the centrepiece of this amazing home - the stunning solar heated Ionized pool (5m x 3.8m). Enjoy the serenity on sun lounges by the pool while the kids play with the basketball ring and Funky Monkey bars & swings (coming October 2025). The front covered deck (with seating for two) overlooks the delightful front garden There is a Single carpoirt and space for another vehicle (car and/or a boat) in the driveway, with additional street parking available.
The ionized pool uses a system to release copper and silver ions into the water, acting as natural disinfectants to prevent algae and bacteria. These ions are safe for swimmers and reduce the need for chemical sanitizers like chlorine, creating a gentler swimming experience, especially for those with sensitive skin.
The home has external security cameras - not facing any private areas.
