House For Sale £500,000
Woodvale represents a rare and unique opportunity to acquire a beautifully renovated, three-bedroom Victorian cottage in an idyllic waterside position with a delightful rear garden leading to a private mooring for a small boat.
Believed to date back to around 1890, this appealing semi-detached cottage exudes the characterful charm one would expect from a traditional period property and has been sympathetically renovated to offer tasteful, modern interiors that beautifully combine with the traditional cottage features. Boasting a lovely outlook towards Wootton Creek from the rear elevation, the accommodation is spacious and flexible with its sitting room providing a separate reception room and a lounge-diner offering a sociable open-plan space which perfectly connects with a spacious kitchen. Providing further desirable features of a family home, each of the three bedrooms are a double size and the property offers the convenience of a fully-equipped family bathroom complete with a bath and separate shower cubicle, and a ground floor cloakroom; both of which have been superbly renovated. Further high-quality improvements completed within the past two years include the installation of a charming eco log burner, beautiful solid oak flooring as well as cosy carpets, and replacement radiators and electrical points. Externally, significant upgrades continue with a new roof and a stylish new entrance door creating attractive curb appeal, and a beautifully established rear garden featuring a renovated boathouse-style outbuilding offering the versatility to be used for multiple purposes. The new owners may be interested to learn that a side extension providing the dining space could also offer a potential opportunity to further extend the property on the first floor level if desired (subject to planning permission). A particularly unique feature of this charming cottage is its fantastic waterside position with its own private mooring at the bottom of the garden, perfect for setting off on a relaxing fishing trip or pottering around on the creek admiring the abundance of wildlife.
Not only does Woodvale provide a fantastic permanent residence, but it also presents an exciting opportunity to be operated as a successful holiday let business with its idyllic waterside location offering a relaxing, unique experience on a popular UK holiday island.
The beautiful Wootton Creek forms part of the village which has plenty of wonderful coastal, woodland and country walks all around the area. A quiet location, but by no means remote as the bustling town of Ryde with its sandy beaches, eclectic mix of shops and restaurants as well as the Independent Ryde School is just a ten-minute drive away. In the other direction is the town of Newport which boasts a range of shops, restaurants, cinemas and the exciting Quay Arts Centre, all less than five miles from Woodvale. The popular village of Wootton offers an abundance of amenities including a four-star spa hotel with a fine dining restaurant, local stores that cater for food, wine and groceries, and there are some great takeaways featuring a well-renowned fish and chip shop for the days when you don’t fancy cooking. Nearby facilities include a well-maintained recreation and sports ground, as well as a health centre, pharmacist and a vet. The property is ideally located for mainland travel links, with a regular car ferry service under two miles away and a high-speed foot passenger service just a fifteen-minute drive from the property. Providing good connectivity to many island-wide amenities, additionally, this home is within close proximity to bus stops on the Southern Vectis route between Ryde and Newport, which serves the village every fifteen minutes during the day.
