Providing an exciting opportunity within an enviable and peaceful location, this well-maintained detached house is truly one of a kind and offers spacious accommodation throughout, a beautiful wrap-around garden, plus a large driveway with a double garage.

Designed and built by the current family in the early 1970s, this remarkable home presents a unique, aesthetically pleasing detached property with its attractive asymmetrical roof structure and a desirable large balcony with an ornate balustrade, perfectly placed to maximise the wonderful Solent sea views. Whilst this home would provide a wonderful modernisation project, it is evident that the property has been very well maintained over the years and has been carefully considered to offer spacious, well-arranged family accommodation throughout with the flexibility to be adapted to the new owners' requirements. Traditional of its time, the interiors offer chic classic character which could be easily incorporated into today's contemporary style including a custom-built open tread staircase constructed with African Iroko wood, laminate wood-effect flooring and an open plan living space, providing a sociable environment for a modern family lifestyle. The accommodation benefits from a spacious entrance hall situated at the heart of the home, a kitchen which connects perfectly with the lounge-diner and a utility room creating the convenience of a separate space for laundry related tasks. Additionally, the ground floor provides a family bathroom and a double bedroom which offers the flexibility to be utilised for other purposes such as a home office or a playroom. Complete with a cloakroom, the first floor provides three further bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefitting from an en-suite shower room, and there is easy access to a spacious loft area providing potential for conversion (subject to planning permission). Furthermore, the garage also provides huge potential to be converted into additional accommodation (again, subject to planning permission) with its double-sized proportions and purposely constructed foundations, specifically put in place should an upper level need to be added.

Outside, this unique-shaped plot extends all the way to the entrance of Spencer Close with its well-kept lawn area which continues to a large block paved driveway extending to the front of the property. Featuring a wide paved terrace to the rear, a beautiful wrap-around garden is mostly laid to lawn, providing a spacious and secluded outdoor environment regularly visited by a variety of wild birds.

Occupying a peaceful position in a historical, highly desirable location in Ryde, tranquil coastal walks along the expansive golden beaches and to historical places of interest are located right on the doorstep of the property including the 'Ladies Walk' footpath that leads to the magnificent Quarr Abbey with its popular tea rooms providing a welcome stop offering a range of tasty refreshments within a peaceful environment.
