Pitt Street, Ryde, PO33 3EB

A three-bedroom semi-detached home tucked away in a quieter residential pocket of Ryde, perfectly placed for families and first-time buyers who want space, practicality and easy access to everything the town and wider Island has to offer.

Inside, the house is arranged around a welcoming entrance hall with smart herringbone flooring that runs through the ground floor, creating a lovely sense of flow. To one side sits a bright living room with large sliding patio doors opening directly onto the deck and enclosed rear garden, great for children to play or for relaxed entertaining. The modern kitchen/dining room is fitted with high-gloss cabinets, integrated hob and oven, and has space for all the usual appliances, as well as room for a family table. A handy side door links the kitchen to the garden and driveway, making everyday life that bit easier. Upstairs, the layout provides three well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which are doubles, along with a contemporary family bathroom. Gas central heating and double glazing run throughout, helping to keep the home warm and efficient.

The rear garden has been designed to be low maintenance, with a full-width deck, artificial lawn, gravelled area and timber shed, ideal if you want outside space without the work. It is fully enclosed with gated rear access, giving a safe, private area for pets and children. To the front there is off-road parking on the gravel driveway with space for bikes and outdoor kit, which is always useful in a busy household.

Ryde itself is a vibrant seaside town on the north-east coast of the Island, known for its long sandy beaches, independent shops and lively café culture. From Pitt Street you are within easy reach of Ryde’s town centre, seafront and Esplanade, where you’ll find miles of coastline and access to the Island’s 68-mile coastal path and wider network of footpaths and trails, making coastal and countryside walks a part of everyday life.

For families, there is a good choice of schooling in and around Ryde, including local primaries and Ryde School, an independent co-educational day and boarding school for ages 2–18, as well as Ryde Academy for secondary education. The area around Ryde and the nearby villages offers bridleways, riding stables and plenty of rural countryside to explore, so it works equally well for walkers, cyclists and horse riders.

Commuters and regular mainland travellers are particularly well served here. Ryde Pier Head provides high-speed FastCat services to Portsmouth Harbour in around 22 minutes, while the hovercraft from Ryde to Southsea takes as little as 10 minutes. From the pier you can also pick up the Island Line train towards Shanklin, as well as frequent bus services to the rest of the Island, giving straightforward connections to Newport, Cowes, Sandown, Shanklin and beyond.

Altogether, this property offers a comfortable, low-maintenance and sensibly laid-out three-bedroom home with gas central heating, double glazing, parking and an enclosed garden - all in a convenient yet tucked-away Ryde location. It’s an excellent proposition for first-time buyers or a young family looking for a practical home with great access to schools, countryside, beaches and mainland links.
