Isle of Wight flat next to historic Osborne with Trigg and Co

Described by the agent as 'charming', the flat sits inside Arthur Cottage, on York Avenue in East Cowes.

The building is Grade II listed and dates to when Queen Victoria frequented the Isle of Wight - had it been today, she would be have been your neighbour!

As you might expect, it boasts character and period charm and sits metres from the English Heritage-run estate of Osborne, once Victoria and Albert's home-by-the-sea.
