House For Sale £825,000
This large detached family home stands in about a third of an acre of grounds on a corner plot in a semi-rural location, but within walking distance of Ryde and the ferry at Fishbourne. It was originally built in the late 1960s and extended more recently and provides plenty of flexible accommodation. The property is set back from the road and approached via a wide forecourt that leads to the double garage and where you can park three or four cars. There is a path flanked by a front lawn and attractive steps up to the double front door and porch that opens into the spacious and welcoming entrance hall.
The good size, dual aspect kitchen/dining room includes ceramic floor tiles and sliding patio doors to the main terrace. It has attractive units housing two built in ovens, a microwave and a dishwasher as well as an American fridge freezer, whilst still leaving plenty of room for a large table and chairs where you can happily entertain family and friends. There is also a study for anyone working from home as well as a large playroom that could always be used as a formal dining room if required.
An inner hall provides access to the double garage, cloakroom, storage cupboards and utility room that has an external door, so is ideal if you want to bring dogs in for a clean up after a muddy walk. This hall also has multi-pane glazed double doors to the dual aspect and well-proportioned lounge that has sliding doors to the patio.
The charming staircase leads to a very wide galleried landing with windows at each end providing delightful views and where you could always put a desk, gym equipment or a seating area. It leads to a family bathroom with a corner bath and a separate double shower room as well as to five double bedrooms including the main bedroom with its en suite shower room and large wardrobes. Another bedroom was originally two singles so the central stud wall could always be reinstated if needed to make six bedrooms.
Outside there is the main terrace leading from the kitchen and lounge for al fresco dining as well as a more private side patio for sunbathing. The grounds are mainly laid to lawn with trees and shrub borders as well as a small wooded area that is ideal for youngsters to camp out in or play hide and seek.
What the Owner says:
We bought this house 30 years ago and it has been a wonderful home to bring up our children and now our grandchildren enjoy coming to stay. However, we feel it is time to downsize and move to something smaller. During our time here we have extended the property to become the spacious family home it is today. Originally it was the location that drew us to the house. It is very conveniently located, but because it is in a cul-de-sac it is very quiet and peaceful and, as we have close boarded the perimeter of the property, it is also very secure for children and pets. The area is a haven for wildlife and we know we shall miss that very much.
There are delightful walks to the seafront, to Quarr Abbey and to Ryde as well as to the local Ryde private school. There is a general store and post office in the village and if you want a meal out but don't want to drive there is always the Fleming Arms gastropub, while local education is also available at the Binstead primary school.
