Northwood House, Ward Avenue, Cowes - Isle of Wight (UA)
Large house, 1837, with spectacular interiors. The long-term future of this partly used building is unresolved and maintenance needs to be addressed in the short term. Some progress has been made and areas of the building have been brought back into use, but the comprehensive repair of the external envelope is still required. The Trustees of Northwood House have been urged to appoint a conservation architect, compile a full package of repairs and improvements and to engage with the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The cost of full repair is very high.
