New Homes in Cowes FAQs

  • Cowes is home to a ferry terminal which offers services to Southampton, while the A3020 road links the town to Newport, which is only 10 minutes away in the car. It takes double that to drive round to East Cowes, with a quick ferry often the better option. In the absence of any train stations nearby, you can use the local bus routes to get around if you don’t have a car.  

  • Cowes Primary School is close to Northwood Park on Edinburgh Close, and rated as good by Ofsted. The same goes for Gurnard Primary just west of town and Lanesend Primary to the south. If your kids are a little older, they can attend local secondary Cowes Enterprise College, which is a mixed school for children aged 11 to 19. This is the only secondary in the local area, but it’s ranked as good by Ofsted so it’s a strong school for your kids to go to. 

     
  • Cowes has a rich maritime history, which you can explore at places like the Classic Boat Museum, the Sir Max Aitken Museum and the Cowes Maritime Museum and Library. Delve deeper into the area’s history at the East Cowes Heritage Centre and Cowes Castle, immerse yourself in artistic culture at Kendalls Fine Art Gallery and see the interesting artefacts at the Wight Military and Heritage Museum. 


    Cowes Week is probably the biggest event on the annual calendar, if not for the entire Isle of Wight, but you can go sailing year-round and enjoy an array of beautiful bays and beaches near Cowes. From Osborne Bay to Thorness Bay, the island’s northernmost point, Egypt Point, is another must-see. 

  • Whether you’ve lived on the Isle of Wight your whole life or you’re looking to take the leap across the Solent for a new way of island living, Cowes is a wonderful place to call home. And thanks to equally wonderful offers like our Movemaker initiative, you could stand to make a great saving on your new house.
