Set in the heart of central Ryde, this ground-floor two-bedroom flat combines genuine period character with a highly convenient location. The property sits in a converted Victorian townhouse with high ceilings, sash windows and a private entrance leading to a south-facing communal courtyard — an airy, light-filled base just yards from the town centre and beaches.
The long lease (999 years from 1985, c.960 years remaining) and residents’ ownership of the freehold give tenure security unusual at this price. Practical benefits include communal dustbin storage, fast broadband options, excellent mobile coverage and low Council Tax (Band A). The flat is being sold with no onward chain, which simplifies purchasing.
This is a renovation opportunity rather than a turn-key home. The building is Grade II listed, which will restrict some alterations and may complicate major works. The flat currently relies on electric room heaters, has solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and needs updating throughout to modern standards. Service charges run at about £1,094 per year.
Buyers should also note local context: the property lies in an area recorded as relatively deprived with higher-than-average local crime; that may affect some buyers’ preferences. For first-time buyers, investors or downsizers who value central position and character, this flat offers clear potential to add value by sympathetic refurbishment within listed-building constraints.
