This spacious detached chalet bungalow in Spencer Road is in such an enviable location, close to the amenities of Ryde town centre and just a short stroll from the seafront.

It’s a surprisingly spacious detached chalet-style home, which offers a large sitting room opening into the dining room, a separate modern kitchen, four bedrooms, large gardens and much more.

Entry is via an attractive storm porch with curved wall features, which opens via a yacht-themed glazed front door into a welcoming hallway.

The dual-aspect sitting room measures some 21ft in length and has a large double-glazed picture window to the front, which provides commanding views over The Solent, Ryde Pier and the mainland beyond. There are also French doors opening to the south-facing rear patio and a marble-effect feature fireplace.

There is a separate dining room with a handy serving hatch to the kitchen/breakfast room.

The kitchen has a range of fitted units with contrasting oak-effect worksurfaces and a matching breakfast bar, while integral appliances include an electric hob and double eye-level oven.

There is space and plumbing for a dishwasher and space for tall fridge/freezer, plus a part-glazed door to sun porch/utility room, which has plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer and a double glazed door to the garden.

The well-equipped kitchen.

There are two double bedrooms on the ground floor, one of which has views of The Solent and an en-suite WC, plus the family bathroom, which has a white suite with a bath and shower over, and super sea views.

Upstairs, there are two more well-proportioned bedrooms.

One has far-reaching views over The Solent and mainland and an en-suite shower room, while the other bedroom has a good-sized dressing area and views over the rear garden.

There is also a roof space which provides a handy storage area, with timber steps leading down to the study.

The study was formerly the garage and this versatile space currently houses a front garden/bicycle store and a rear study.

Outside, there is a good-sized lawned garden with flower/shrub borders and gated side access to the rear.

The rear garden is divided into two sections: an easy to maintain enclosed south-facing sun trap garden which is perfect for al fresco dining and the secret garden — an expanse of lawn which could be a lovely orchard, vegetable garden or perhaps a safe children’s playing area.

There is also a long shingled driveway with a turning area, which provides parking for several cars and leads to the former garage. Offered chain-free, this home really must be seen.
