There’s lots for the whole family to love at this dog-friendly detached residence in the heart of Ryde. With four versatile bedrooms, two social spaces and a garden games room it has parking so you can explore the seafront, coast path and shops of the island’s largest town at your leisure.

Less than 0.5 miles from Ryde’s thriving high street, this handsome holiday home sits within a pleasant residential area between the town’s golf and tennis clubs. A warm welcome awaits: to the right of the entrance, a bay window allows natural light into the sitting room, where you can stretch out on a choice of sofas in front of the feature fireplace. Continue on, and an open-plan living space is the real heart of the home, with a sleek kitchen to one end, and ample elbow space at the dining suite when you’re ready to eat. Afterwards, a large sofa invites you to unwind in front of the Smart TV; fully-folding doors allow garden access. A ground-floor cloakroom adds convenience for all and complements the family bathroom upstairs. When it’s time to sleep, there are four beautifully appointed bedrooms on the first floor: a charming bunk room, a dreamy double room, a twin room, and a luxurious master bedroom with a king-sized bed and en-suite shower room. You can pass many happy hours in the garden of this property; open the doors from the open-plan lounge area and you can step straight into the spacious garden, where outdoor furniture is positioned on a terraced decking area. Fire up the BBQ on the lower patio area and dine as the sun goes down; for added family fun, the small summerhouse is equipped with garden games and a football table. High fencing all around makes this rear garden a great play space for children and pets; on the driveway to the front of the property there’s space for three cars.

With excellent connections to the mainland, Ryde is known as the gateway to East Wight and is a super starting point for exploring the rest of the island. Take a stroll along the esplanade, visit the pier – the second-longest seaside pier in the country – and explore the independent stores, cafes and ice cream shops that line the town-centre streets. Follow the coast path eastwards to Appley Beach or drive 7 miles to Bembridge, where the beautiful harbour is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and nearby Brading Marshes are home to the island’s first RSPB site.
