High Street, Wootton Bridge, Ryde

Situated within a tucked away position in the convenient village of Wootton Bridge, this charming barn conversion offers two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, open plan living and a delightful rear garden.

Built in the mid to late 19th century, this wonderful cottage was converted and restored in 2012 with many of the original features remaining. Currently set up as a successful holiday let, the property offers opportunity for the new owners to enjoy as a permanent residence, an investment opportunity, or as a bolt hole. The property comprises an entrance hall leading to the main open plan living space, two double bedrooms (one with an en-suite) and the family bathroom. From the open plan living space are bifold doors and French doors leading out to a large garden which is regularly visited by country birds and the famous red squirrels. The barn conversion is situated in a peaceful, set back position from the road with a network of footpaths on the doorstep and enjoys the sounds of wildlife through the day. There is a private gravel driveway which can be completely enclosed, providing parking for multiple vehicles.

Popular Wootton Bridge offers an abundance of amenities including local stores that cater for food, wine and groceries, and there are some great places to eat featuring a well-renowned fish and chip shop for the days when you don’t fancy cooking. Nearby facilities include a primary school and a community centre, a well-maintained recreation and sports ground, as well as a health centre, pharmacist, a vet, and the popular Lakeside Hotel and Spa. This sought-after village is one of the most convenient locations on the Island with the county town of Newport situated just a ten-minute drive from the property and the popular seaside town of Ryde located just four miles, East, in the opposite direction. Therefore, it has good connectivity to the many facilities and amenities offered in each town which include wonderful eateries, independent shops, beautiful sandy beaches, Island-wide travel links, cinemas and community theatres. The location is within close proximity to travel links, with a regular bus route serving the High Street and a mainland car ferry service from Fishbourne as well as East Cowes are both under a ten-minute drive away.
