Offering everything you need to enjoy an active and independent lifestyle, designed to be lower maintenance for an easier life with fewer chores, giving you more time to do the things you love.

During the first half of the last century flying boats and seaplanes were built at East Cowes. Giant of British industry, Saunders Roe, constructed the famous ‘Columbine Shed’ which was completed in 1935 and was a bold statement of the times, sporting a variety of Art Deco features. The much-loved giant Union Flag was originally painted on the building’s seaward facing doors in 1977 to celebrate HM The Queen’s Silver Jubilee, and it was restored to its former glory in 2012 year on the occasion of The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

Saunders Roe were highly innovative and in the 1950s their workforce designed and manufactured the world’s largest flying boat ‘The Saunders-Roe Princess’.

The Princess was developed as a larger, more luxurious successor to the pre-war commercial flying boats, intended to serve the transatlantic route, carrying up to 100 passengers between Southampton and New York in spacious and comfortable

conditions. She first flew in August 1952, and performed a total of 47 test flights, including two appearances at the Farnborough Air show.

Alas it was the start of the jet age and large-scale flying boats were no longer commercially viable, so sadly the Princess never went into service.

However, the Columbine Building has continued to play an illustrious part in history, with the world’s first practical hovercraft built by Saunders-Roe first flying in Cowes in 1959, and more recently the innovative Vestas Sailrocket 2 which broke the outright World Speed Sailing Record in 2012.

A variety of local amenities can be found in the town centre just over 100 metres from the development, including supermarkets, restaurants, hairdressers, pharmacies, doctors’ surgery and a range of independent retailers to explore.The nearby bus stop offers regular services to Newport and Ryde with Islandwide links beyond, and is just a couple of stops away from Queen Victoria’s seaside retreat, Osborne House.A quick chain ferry journey takes you to the popular sailing town of West Cowes and you’ll find the Red Funnel ferry very close by giving you easy access to Southampton and beyond.

If one of your concerns about later life is becoming lonely or more isolated, then an age-exclusive home could be just what you need. You’ll have the opportunity to meet a community of supportive, like-minded people at Princess Court at a similar stage of life.
