Seller Insight

We bought ‘Chine Tops’ twelve years ago as a new build and we have enjoyed all the benefits of living in this modern home. The house retains the warmth in the winter and is cool in the summer thanks to the great insulation and being built to a high specification. The solar panels on the roof are an excellent addition and help keep our energy bills down, enabling us to do our bit for the environment.

The spacious accommodation has allowed us to incorporate a home office, as well as having plenty of room for guests. At the end of the road is the number 3 bus stop, which takes you to Ventnor, Newport and Ryde. From the bus station in the town there are numerous routes to take you around the island, as well as the train station which goes as far as the Ryde Pier Head to pick up the high speed catamaran to Portsmouth with its mainline trains.

Set in a quiet residential area just a stone’s throw from the beautiful Rylstone Gardens and coastal path, it is also easily accessible to the picturesque Old Village with its pretty thatched cottages, traditional pubs and artisan shops and restaurants.”*

Step inside

Chine Tops

This is a deceptively spacious, modern home, arranged over three floors, with private gardens to the front and rear, and ample parking for up to three cars. The sunroom at the front is a real bonus and allows light to flood the adjoining sitting room through the attractive bay windows and French doors. This is a good-sized sitting room, carpeted throughout and leads to the spacious entrance hall.

To the rear of the property ground floor is an impressive, open-plan kitchen-diner, with engineered wood flooring and fantastic bi-fold doors, giving access to the rear garden and creating another light and airy space. The kitchen has everything you would expect from a contemporary home, including integrated dishwasher, fridge/ freezer and washing machine. The five-ring gas-burning stove and larger than average oven in the island combines design and practicability.

In the rear garden is a handy shed and garden room. Both are connected to mains power, giving the former potential to be a utility room and the latter would easily lend itself to an outside office. The garden is mostly laid to lawn, edged by mature shrubs and plants, and backs onto the historical landmark, Shanklin Chine.

To the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms and a large, family bathroom, which includes a shower and separate bath. On the second floor are two further double bedrooms and a large, Jack and Jill bathroom, again, with separate shower and bathtub. The main bedroom boasts a spacious built-in storage cupboard and walk-in wardrobe, as well as direct access to the Jack and Jill bathroom. This property also benefits from solar panels and attractive sash windows throughout.
