Summary - 5 Victoria Lodge, 20, St. Thomas Street, RYDE PO33 2DL
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Spacious two‑bed apartment with stunning Solent views and long lease, close to ferry links.
Exceptional Solent and pier views from a 32ft decked sea‑facing balcony
Perched on the second floor of a late‑Victorian seafront block, this well-presented two‑double bedroom apartment offers exceptional direct Solent views from a 32ft decked balcony. The bright sitting room and principal bedroom both open onto the balcony, creating a strong indoor‑outdoor feel ideal for relaxed seaside living. Presentation is neutral throughout with UPVC double‑glazed sash windows and gas central heating; the property is offered chain free.
Practical features include a separate fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, an en suite shower room plus a second bathroom, and a private basement storage room. The share of freehold and a long lease (979 years remaining) reduce long‑term ownership uncertainty; the management charge is £125 pcm (c. £1,500pa) and buildings insurance/maintenance are covered.
Important restrictions and risks: pets and holiday lets are not permitted under the lease, and the location is assessed as medium flood risk. Recorded local crime levels are high and the wider area shows higher deprivation indicators; these factual negatives should be weighed against the rare sea‑front position and excellent transport links (fast ferries to Portsmouth).
This apartment suits downsizers or buyers seeking a low‑maintenance coastal base with strong sea views and good transport access to the mainland. It will also appeal to those prioritising a ready‑to‑move‑into property rather than a major renovation project.
