Seller Insight

We bought this house about five years ago as we thought the location was ideal and the family love the swimming pool. However, the property needed a little ‘TLC’ so we have spent our time here updating and refurbishing our home and have been delighted with the results but we feel it is now time for us to downsize and let another family enjoy everything we have done to create this charming contemporary property.

Being at the end of a small cul-de-sac it is quiet and peaceful as well as being safe for children and pets. At the same time, it is only a short walk to the local school, the centre of Ryde, the seafront, the catamaran and hovercraft ferry as well as the golf course. It is also not far to Fishbourne for access to the car ferry for trips to Portsmouth.

Ryde is a charming town with its quirky mix of Victorian architecture and traditional seaside entertainment. It includes a wide selection of independent shops, a plethora of bars, cafes and restaurants and, unlike some places on the island, it is a hive of activity all year round with a variety of events from the Classic Car Show and the August Bank Holiday scooter show to a selection of concerts. There are a number of great beaches around Ryde but Appley beach is stunning with long stretches of sand bordered by the park that includes Appley Tower and a playground for young children.*
