Property description
This impressive home offers substantial family sized accommodation over three floors, and is within walking distance of the town centre of Ryde. Both passenger and car ferry links to the mainland are situated within easy reach of the property, so its location would be very suitable for commuters.
Thought to date back to the 1830's, the property is Grade II listed and offers some wonderful period features of that era with sizable rooms & high ceilings.
There is a detached garage to the rear and the gated driveway sweeps around the home to offer ample parking for even the largest of families.
On entering the home you are greeted with a large entrance hall, with an impressive stairwell which leads to the first floor and an immediate feeling of space. The lounge and sitting areas are situated at the front of the home and has retained its period fireplace and has two sets of double doors which open out to the enclosed front garden with panelled shutters still in situ.
The kitchen area has been upgraded and gives ample storage in its wealth of cupboards, with the addition a bright breakfast area with double doors leading out onto the rear patio area. There is also a good sized utility area to hide away all of the appliances. Also on the ground floor, there is a study offering space for any buyers working from home, as well as a ground floor cloakroom. The dining room is also accessed from the breakfast area and has dual-aspect windows and gives ample space for a large dining table to ensure family gatherings are accommodated for.
The first floor has four double bedrooms, two with en-suite facilities and an upgraded family bathroom with fully fitted suite to include a shower cubicle and roll top bath. The master bedroom benefits from the large bay with full length doors ensuring this room feels light and spacious.
The lower ground floor gives two further double bedrooms and both a shower room and separate cloakroom, as well as two additional rooms ideally used for a gym, play room or purely for storage.
This property offers enormous versatility due to its layout, and is far bigger than one could anticipate from its attractive exterior.
What the Owner says:
We have loved living at this property. It has been a lovely family home to bring our children up in.
One of the best things about the property is its location. It literally takes a matter of minutes to walk from all of Ryde’s amenities i.E the schools, shops, bars and restaurants, the beach, swimming pool, bowling, skate park and all the transport links onto the mainland and around the Island.
It is also a very spacious house and has loads of character, as you would expect from a Georgian property. Now that our children have flown the nest, we are looking to downsize. We are sure that any new owners would be as happy as we have been here in the last 22 years.
