First-time buyers or investors — allocated parking and communal garden close to town.
First-floor Victorian apartment with high ceilings and period character
This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment sits in a Victorian multi-unit building on West Hill Road, moments from Ryde’s amenities and local bus links. The flat benefits from high ceilings and well-proportioned principal rooms, a communal garden and an allocated off-street parking space — practical assets for everyday living on the island. The kitchen is presented in a modern style and the living space measures approximately 16' x 15', making the layout easy to furnish.
The property is sold by modern auction and is subject to an undisclosed reserve price; buyers should allow for non-refundable reservation fees and additional buyer charges. The lease is long (962 years remaining) and there is an average service charge of around £1,450. Prospective purchasers must read the buyer information pack and complete their own due diligence before bidding.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or investor looking for a period property with character and practical parking. While the building dates from the 1930–1949 era and shows attractive period features, parts of the building fabric (cavity walls with assumed no insulation) suggest further energy-efficiency improvements could be considered. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the space and ceiling heights; note some images are virtually staged to illustrate potential styling.
Buyers should be aware of the auction timescale (completion typically within 56 days of contract) and the reservation process requirements, including identification checks and proof of purchase funding. Council tax is very low, broadband speeds average and mobile signal is excellent — useful local details when evaluating island living.
