Northwood House

Bringing the windows back to life 🪟

Northwood House has a lot of windows, and every one of them has a story! This week Chris shows you the restoration work underway to repair them and bring them back to their best.

As a listed building, the aim is always to repair first and replace only when there’s no other option. That means saving original timber and glass wherever possible, and matching any new pieces to the old by hand.

A big thank you to Jayden from .carpentryandjoinery for his brilliant work. You can really see the care that goes into every frame 💙

As a charity, we look after Northwood House for the people of Cowes, and work like this keeps it in good shape for generations to come!

Giving the house a new coat 🏛️

This week Chris shows how the render on the outside of the house is being replaced with traditional lime. Lime is breathable, so moisture can escape from the walls instead of getting trapped inside. That means drier walls, less damp and a much happier building for years to come.

As a Grade II* listed building, Northwood has to be restored sensitively, using traditional materials and techniques that respect its history. It takes patience and real craft to get right.

Huge thanks to the team at for their skill, care and hard work. The house is in very good hands 💙

Any questions about the restoration? Drop them below and Chris will answer 👇

⚠️ PARK UPDATE ⚠️

After a stormy weekend, parts of the Park are looking a little worse for wear. If you’re visiting or walking through the site, please take extra care and avoid affected areas, including the one pictured.

Our team is working hard to clear up and make everything safe again, so please bear with us while we get things back in order.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding! 🙏

A HUGE milestone - The new kitchen! 🍽️

This week Chris takes you inside our brand new kitchen, and we’re very excited about it! A fully kitted-out, state-of-the-art kitchen means we can now cater for events of every size right here in the house, from intimate dinners to weddings and bigger celebrations.

Whether it’s a wedding breakfast, a charity dinner or a big birthday, the House is now set up to handle it beautifully.

As a charity, everything we earn goes back into caring for the house and park, keeping them open and enjoyed by the community. So when you hold your event here, you’re helping to look after a much-loved part of Cowes 💙

Planning something special? Get in touch, we’d love to cook up something for you 🍽️
