Situated just moments from the town centre, beaches and travel links, this charming end-of-terrace cottage retains plenty of period charm and offers a wonderful opportunity for the new owners to put their own stamp on.

Offering a seaside town lifestyle in the heart of Ryde, this appealing Victorian property presents a traditional cottage feel with its characterful original feature fireplaces, and timber interiors including wall paneling, panel doors, and skirting boards. Benefitting from a range of improvements whilst providing an opportunity for further modernisation if desired, the accommodation offers two versatile reception rooms comprising a living room and a dining room, and a recently installed modern kitchen plus a new bathroom on the ground floor. The dining room benefits from a wide walk-through to the kitchen, creating a desirable semi-open plan layout and a sociable environment for family meal times or entertaining. The first floor comprises three double sized bedrooms with the third bedroom accessed via bedroom two, offering a great alternative use as a home office or dressing room. Outside, there is a fully-enclosed courtyard, providing a low-maintenance outdoor space ready to personalise with planters and seating.

Just a short walk from the property is Ryde seafront which boasts long stretches of sandy beaches and family entertainment such as ten-pin bowling, play parks, and an open-air swimming pool. With good local primary and secondary schools nearby, there are also plenty of High Street amenities within short walking distance offering boutique shops, convenience stores, a superb choice of eateries, and even a local cinema. Another benefit of being so close to the seafront is having easy access to high-speed foot passenger travel to the mainland with Wightlink's catamaran service and the Hovercraft which only takes ten minutes to cross the Solent. Additionally, the Fishbourne to Portsmouth car ferry service is located approximately three miles from the property. Regular public transport connections across the island are also within easy reach with the Southern Vectis bus network and Island Line train service providing regular services for Ryde.
