3 bed Flat For Sale £350,000
Situated in a most desirable location close to sandy beaches and Ryde town centre, this distinctive three-bedroom maisonette boasts uninterrupted sea views, driveway parking for one vehicle and is offered for sale chain free.
This charming cottage-style maisonette offers spacious, well-appointed accommodation arranged over two floors. Providing the feel and style of an ‘upside-down’ house, a spacious lounge is situated on the first floor, maximising the spectacular sea views towards the bustling Solent. This beautiful home has been the subject of extensive refurbishment over the past five years resulting in a contemporary family home which would also work perfectly as a low-maintenance seaside holiday home. An abundance of improvements include a stylish kitchen-diner and modern family bathroom, replastered walls and ceilings, and an immaculate decor offering a neutral grey colour palette and high-quality flooring to create a fresh, homely feel. Additionally, the property benefits from a new roof, a gas central heating system and LED lighting have been installed, and electrical rewiring as well as plumbing work have been completed. Built circa 1864, the property exhibits a traditional Victorian stone construction and character features such as bay windows, skirting boards and spacious accommodation throughout. Outside there is a driveway to the side of the property which is shared with the neighbouring property and offers one allocated parking space for number 18.
Just a short stroll from the property is Ryde seafront which boasts long stretches of sandy beaches with numerous seaside activities such as bowling, laser quest 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 including boutique shops and 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 10 minutes to cross the Solent. Additionally, the Fishbourne to Portsmouth car ferry service is located just 3.2 miles away 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.
The substantial accommodation comprises an entrance hall which leads to an open plan kitchen-diner, a double bedroom and a downstairs cloakroom. A staircase provides access to the first-floor level which comprises a spacious lounge, a family bathroom and two further double bedrooms.
Welcome To 18 Spencer Road
On opening the ornate metal gate to this fine stone cottage-style property, a number of beautiful touches provide a delightful first impression such as the traditional tiled pathway, a smart front door painted in a soft green and an established palm tree to name but a few. Directly in front of the property is a south-facing paved area with plant bedding providing a perfect spot for positioning a bistro set to sit and enjoy warm sunny days.
Entrance Hall
Upon stepping through the front door you are greeted by a lengthy entrance hall with a durable dark grey carpet and a light grey wall decor which echoes throughout the accommodation. Beyond an archway, the area widens into a spacious lobby area which has a cosy light grey carpet and a window to the side aspect allowing for the natural light. Illumination is provided by recessed spotlighting and two wall-mounted light fittings to create a softer ambience. Also located here is a radiator and a large built-in storage cupboard with shelving. An open carpeted staircase provides access to the first-floor level and three doors open to a kitchen-diner, a bedroom and a cloakroom respectively.
