This imposing, Grade Two listed property is situated in the highly sought after Queens Road, close to the town, beaches, ferry terminals and Ryde School. The front of the building has a distinguished castellated frontage, and from the rear, the property looks just like a mini manor house. Internally, the many rooms offer flexible accommodation which include a spacious bay windowed living room and further bay windowed dining room; both of which look over the extensive rear garden. There is a large family sized kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room, plus a ground floor reading room, study and shower room; all of which could become an independent annexe. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with stairs leading to a further attic room. Outside a gravelled driveway leads through the double gates to a barn style double carport. The front garden and courtyard are easily managed whilst the extensive rear garden is more like a park, with a formal lawn area and a number of other shady areas full of mature trees and plants. There is also a Well, two greenhouses, a log store and a historic and unique stone built Miller's Cottage, which stood next to Ryde Windmill before the windmill was taken down in the 1800s and relocated to Upton Road. This home offers so much, and we feel will particularly appeal to those with children at the nearby Ryde Independent School. Offered for sale chain free.
