Description
This historic property, known as Osborne Cottage, was built in 1856 to accommodate the crowned heads of Europe when visiting Queen Victoria at Osborne House. The 4,500 sq ft home boasts four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and four reception rooms, featuring a wealth of period details and impressive architectural characteristics. The property has a rich history, having hosted numerous dignitaries, including the Emperor and Empress of France, the Tsar and Tsarina of Russia, and the Spanish Royal Family. In the 20th century, it was used by Princess Beatrice and her family, and later by Mr. Burbridge, managing director of Harrods. The current owners have spent years restoring the property, sympathetically converting it into a comfortable 4-bedroomed home. The interior features a grand dining hall with cantilevered stone staircase, ornate fireplaces, and original Minton tiled floors, as well as modern amenities such as a kitchen and laundry room. The property also includes a study, cloakroom, and storage room, and is situated adjacent to the Osborne estate with off-road parking and gardens.
