The property is a charming, individual detached character house tucked away from the road, offering a peaceful setting just a few hundred yards from the lovely sandy beaches of Ryde, making it suitable for either a permanent residence or a holiday home/let. It is close to local and mainland passenger travel options and the array of beachside cafes and bars along the Esplanade. The house is within a few minutes' walk to Ryde town centre, which boasts a comprehensive range of retail shops and facilities. Internally, the property features high ceilings, full height sliding sash windows, and a classical stair balustrade with a smooth wooden handrail and squared spindles, all of which contribute to its period charm. The entrance hall leads to all ground floor rooms, including a cloakroom, a spacious lounge, and a kitchen/diner with access to a surprisingly large garden via the full height sash windows. A utility room provides additional space for appliances and storage. Upstairs, there are three comfortable bedrooms, two of which enjoy sea views as a reminder of the property's coastal position. The property is located in a residents' parking zone with permits available via the council, and there are also free parking spaces for up to 2 hours nearby. The property has a long leasehold of 999 years from 1854 and is in Council Tax Band C. The services are unconfirmed, including gas, electric, telephone, mains water, and drainage. The property would benefit from redecoration to suit personal tastes, whether leaning towards contemporary or classic styles. The gardens include a pretty front courtyard with well-established shrubs and a Cordaline tree, and a fully enclosed rear garden with a paved patio and a brick-built shed.
