Spencer Road, Ryde

With commanding views over The Solent, Ryde Pier and to the Spinnaker Tower, this conveniently located family home has the benefit of a new self-contained annexe and off-road parking.

Found on one of the more sought after roads in Ryde, close to the town amenities, beach, Ryde School and commuter links, 13 Spencer Road has glorious Solent views, which can be enjoyed from the principal rooms making it an ideal home, with additional ground floor accommodation currently used as a successful holiday letting. The accommodation is arranged in an ‘upside down’ format to make best of the views with four bedrooms, three of which are on the first floor, including two bathrooms and large sitting room/open plan kitchen dining room and conservatory achieving wonderful sea views. The ground floor has been converted from garaging to now provide a new self-contained one bedroom annexe with high-specification finish. A staircase could be reintroduced to connect both floors internally and as part of the planning permission achieved, there is also scope for an ancillary home office to be added and located somewhere in the rear gardens. Furthermore there is a void of undeveloped space on the ground floor at the rear of the house. Gardens wrap around the house enjoying a sunny southerly aspect, whilst at the front is mature hedging forming a boundary to one side of a large tarmacadam driveway within the original stone walls. There is also a dedicated courtyard garden to the side of the ground floor annexe.

Situated within a Conservation Area, Number 13 benefits from being located in a quiet attractive position, just a short walk from the beach located on the Island Coastal Path and within a couple of minutes' walk of the well regarded Ryde School. The amenities of the town including a range of shops and restaurants, together with high-speed ferry services are all within easy walking distance. There are frequent crossings on the passenger ferry service to Portsmouth (taking about 20 minutes) and to Southsea on the hovercraft (taking about 12 minutes). The car ferry to Portsmouth is a few minutes by car away in Fishbourne. Ryde also has a large sandy beach, popular for swimmers and kite surfers as well as having a small marina.
