3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Conveniently positioned on the outskirts of Ryde, this beautifully renovated cottage comes complete with extensive grounds incorporating a spacious garden, a separate paddock and a large steel barn.

Preston Cottage has recently undergone an incredible transformation to offer a sociable and spacious family home boasting a highly desirable open plan living environment and contemporary, neutral interiors throughout. Despite the fresh modern finishes, the traditional redbrick construction and original fireplaces define the historical past of this appealing 1800s cottage and retain a touch of elegant period character.

Featuring luxury vinyl tile flooring on the ground floor and cosy grey carpets on the first floor, the accommodation has a traditional entrance hall leading to a formal sitting room with a warming multi-fuel stove and a beautiful ground floor bathroom with space for laundry appliances. If required, the sitting room could equally provide a ground floor bedroom with convenient access to the bathroom; offering a huge benefit for those with mobility issues. To the rear of the home, an impressive open plan living area awaits and provides a great entertaining environment with ample space for a large dining set and lounge suite alongside an incredibly stylish, modern kitchen complete with integrated appliances. Illuminated by stylish downlighting, the living space features a high vaulted ceiling with a timber beam, and an expanse of bifold doors, providing a seamless connection with the generous rear garden. Forming the first floor is a beautiful shower room and two well-presented double bedrooms plus a single bedroom. Offering a warm and cosy family home, the property is well insulated and has been installed with an efficient electric heating system with contemporary radiators which can be controlled using a smart device such as a mobile phone.

Outside there is a generous, and secluded lawned rear garden which includes a fabulous elevated patio terrace complete with the luxury of a hot tub and a substantial timber pergola providing shelter. Beyond the garden, a timber five-bar gate leads to a recently built steel barn measuring 60ft x 40ft providing a multitude of uses such as a garage for vehicles or boat storage and an enclosed paddock area, which could potentially suit private equestrian or smallholding use.

This wonderful home is set within the sought after Bullen area of Ryde which combines a semi-rural ambience with the benefit of being an extremely convenient location complete with a major supermarket just a short stroll from the property. For those seeking an active lifestyle, Preston Cottage is surrounded by rural walks, a golf course, and the Westridge Leisure Centre. Additionally, there is a regular bus service on the doorstep and Ryde's town centre is just a short drive away with an array of shops and restaurants, and a Victorian promenade with renowned sandy beaches plus high-speed mainland travel links. Ryde also offers good local schools at primary and secondary level including the independent Ryde School. The coastal village of Seaview is moments away, offering stunning family friendly beaches and bays, sailing options, plus boutique shopping and dining.
