- WITH SELF CONTAINED ANNEX - Ashey, Ryde

Situated in a peaceful semi-rural location within a secluded plot, this substantial four-bedroom family home boasts ample living accommodation as well as a two-bedroom self-contained annexe and outbuildings offering plenty of potential.

Tulfes is a peaceful semi-rural property on the outskirts of Ryde, set within a spacious, gated plot with landscaped gardens and the sounds of a heritage steam train passing by. Built in 1973 by the current owners, this well-maintained home offers flexible living spaces, four double bedrooms, and potential for modernisation. The property includes a two-bedroom annexe, ideal for multi-generational living, and a log-style cabin with a hot tub, perfect for outdoor living or a private workspace. Additional features include a long driveway, ample parking, and a separate double garage with a two-storey workshop, offering further potential. Accommodation comprises in the main house of a spacious entrance hall, a generous living area, dining room, snug, kitchen, separate utility room and cloakroom, a conservatory and a lobby with a staircase to the first floor, which consists of a large landing, four double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The annex is also well proportioned, featuring a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

There are also exciting opportunity to reconfigure the property and outbuildings with the potential…

To run a small business from home: Tulfes has a 2 story workshop with B2 industrial use planning permission, perfect for a cottage industry, an Artisan or a new fledgling business, and the sizable garage adjoining the workshop would give ample storage for products. There is even a fully fitted office in the garden chalet, perfect for meetings and administrative work.

For a passive income stream: The Workshop and garage at Tulfes could be converted into further accommodation and let out as living space or even holiday accommodation. This would of course be subject to planning permission and building regulations.

As a further development opportunity: The overall plot at Tulfes is sizable - it's possible that the workshop and garage could be separated and converted into another residential dwelling, splitting the site into two residential houses. Again, this would be subject to planning permission and building regulations.

This property offers the perfect balance of country living and convenient lifestyle, with scenic walking and cycling routes nearby and Ryde High Street just a 10-minute drive away, offering boutique shops, supermarkets, and a range of dining options. Local primary and secondary schools, including the independent Ryde School, are within easy reach. Ryde Esplanade, also a short drive away, provides access to high-speed foot-passenger ferries to the mainland, sandy beaches, and various seaside activities. The Fishbourne-Portsmouth car ferry is just five miles away, with excellent transport links via Southern Vectis bus services and the Island Line train at Ryde Esplanade.
