Offering a convenient lifestyle within the heart of Ryde, this impressive four-bedroom period townhouse boasts spacious, versatile accommodation and comes complete with a generous rear garden as well as a driveway.
Dating back to 1900, 27 St Johns Wood Road is a fine example of a well-maintained Victorian property which has been well-loved by the current owners for the past thirty-three years. Beautifully arranged over three floors with glorious panoramic views over Ryde from the rear elevation, this highly desirable Victorian townhouse still offers glimpses of its historical past with its traditional high ceilings, decorative wall mouldings and characterful fireplaces. Enjoying plenty of natural light enhanced by pristine neutral interiors throughout, the accommodation is both spacious and flexible with its four bedrooms arranged over the two upper floors and two reception rooms on the lower ground floor comprising a beautiful living room as well as a dining room which offers the versatility to be utilised as a fifth bedroom if required.

A further sought-after feature of this property is a large kitchen-breakfast room which perfectly connects with the living spaces and there is an external cloakroom attached to the property which offers the potential to be integrated with the internal accommodation. Furthermore, outside boasts a driveway for one vehicle and an extensive rear garden which has been beautifully established and attracts a variety of wildlife.
Ryde seafront is only a short walk away from the property 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 close by 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.
