2 bed detached bungalow for sale

Church Road, Cowes PO31

Set in the heart of the ever-popular coastal village of Gurnard, this detached two-bedroom bungalow offers a rare opportunity for those seeking a project in a prime Island location. Quietly positioned on Church Road, the property sits on a generous plot and offers enormous potential to extend, re imagine and add value — whether you’re looking for a peaceful permanent home, stylish holiday retreat, or investment opportunity.

The bungalow is offered to the market chain-free and requires internal modernisation throughout. Currently heated by electric only, it presents a blank canvas for buyers to implement modern energy solutions and design a home to suit contemporary needs. With generous frontage including a driveway and garage, and a spacious rear garden, there’s clear scope to extend backwards or potentially upwards (subject to planning), with some neighbouring properties already having taken advantage of this.

What makes this home especially appealing is its location. Gurnard is a sought-after village famous for its beachside charm, sea views and spectacular sunsets across the Solent. The bungalow is within a short stroll of Gurnard Press, a well-loved artisan coffee shop, and two excellent pubs: The Portland Inn and the Woodvale, the latter perched by the water’s edge. Gurnard Beach and its green are just down the hill — ideal for morning swims, coastal walks or sundowners with friends.

Just a five-minute drive (or a pleasant walk) brings you into Cowes, a bustling sailing town with boutique shops, great restaurants and high-speed Red Jet connections to Southampton — perfect for commuters or those who want a convenient link to the mainland.

In summary, this is a property with solid fundamentals, a prime location, and exciting potential — whether you're a downsizer, a second-home buyer, or someone looking to create a unique home by the sea
