Star Street, Ryde

A deceptively spacious period home, offering generous and versatile living spaces, a bright kitchen and sunroom opening to the garden, expansive cellar space, and glimpses of the sea from the upper floor, and all set in an exceptionally convenient location.

Originally constructed in the mid-1800s, this generously proportioned period home offers a superb balance of traditional character and modern versatility. The ground floor provides a series of well-connected reception spaces, flowing naturally from a welcoming entrance hall through to a lounge, reception room, open plan dining area and snug and on into a bright kitchen/sunroom overlooking the garden. The ground floor is complemented by a practical boot room and access to an exceptionally useful and large cellar below. Upstairs, four bedrooms offer flexible accommodation, ideal for family life or home working, with elevated positions affording attractive glimpses towards the sea. Throughout, the property retains a warm and inviting feel, enhanced by original features and an abundance of natural light.

Within just a five-minute walk from the property is Ryde seafront which boasts long stretches of fine golden sand with numerous seaside activities such as bowling, playgrounds and an open-air swimming pool. With good local primary and secondary schools nearby, there are also plenty of high street amenities within short walking distance 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. 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.
