Priors Walk, St. Johns Road, Ryde

Iris Cottage is a detached 1920s mews house, which underwent a significant renovation in 2017, brought up to date throughout in a beautiful style while retaining its original period character.

Immaculately presented throughout, Iris Cottage offers an enviable blend of period character and contemporary décor and finishes. Presented in a soft, neutral scheme throughout, the property has a light and bright ambience, and, occupying the entire ground floor, the modern, open-plan lounge/diner/kitchen creates a wonderfully social space at the heart of the home. Further property features include two double-bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom on the first floor, and a private, low-maintenance courtyard garden which wraps around the property.

Iris Cottage is tucked away off of St Johns Road in a secluded yet convenient location in the centre of town. Ryde town centre amenities include boutique shops, a superb choice of eateries and a local cinema, and just a ten-minute walk from the property is Ryde seafront which boasts long stretches of fine golden sand. Another benefit of being so close to the Esplanade 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 3.4 miles away from the property. Regular public transport connections across the Island are also within easy reach with the Southern Vectis bus station and Island Line train service located on the Esplanade.
