Welcome
|
Enjoy a waterside lifestyle in a tranquil countryside setting, with an abundance of wildlife literally on the doorstep. Fifteen minutes by boat from Cowes, along the Medina River, the colour-washed cladding gives the development a coastal style in keeping with its sought-after marina location. The 'best of both worlds' is a saying which rarely rings true. Heron Square and Cormorant Grove are testament to this phrase they have it all. A unique location, set in a beautiful riverside valley, Heron Square is on the Medina River, south of the sailing town of Cowes on the Isle of Wight, at the heart of the Island's beautiful countryside and adjoining an SSSI site. Kingfishers and red squirrels frequent the area. Enjoy breathtaking views down river, towards Cowes and catch the sun setting over the shallows. A life at Island Harbour allows residents to be a part of the changing seasons. The 48 holiday homes making up Heron Square and Cormorant Grove enjoy a waterside lifestyle, with 10m pontoon moorings forming part of the Island Harbour Marina. It has a full range of facilities to hand, for the needs of new and experienced skippers. Most of the homes are situated over the water, on a beautiful boardwalk, creating an unparalleled living experience for messing about on the river. The traditional boarded and colour-washed cladding harks back to the days when Islanders relied on the water for power and transportation. Buildings originally on the site were once occupied by William Porter's bakery reputedly supplying biscuits to convict ships destined for Botany Bay! Beautiful internal specifications continue the best of both' theme, with solid wood floors, substantial fixtures and fittings and the convenience of broadband and networked cabling for audiovisual equipment. There is ample secure hard-standing available for winter boat storage and the marina boatyard offers additional facilities. Newport, the Island's capital, is conveniently situated only a few minutes' car or boat ride away or a 30-minute walk alongside the Medina River from the marina. |
