MILLFIELD, 29 QUEENS ROAD, RYDE, ISLE OF WIGHT PO33 3BG

OFFERS IN EXCESS OF £1,000,000

A fine detached Grade II Listed early Victorian 7-8

bedroom house of nearly 6,000 sq ft (Gross Internal

Area) with some sea views, close by Ryde School and

accessible to the ferries to Portsmouth and Southsea.

With consent for two detached houses in the grounds (a 3

and a 4 bedroom unit), the main house is in need of

modernisation, upgrading and renovation and itself has

consent (if required) to be extended and divided into 3

units. The property will appeal to both private

individuals looking to restore and create a wonderful

period home or to developers seeking to create 5 units of

high-quality accommodation in this sought-after area of

Ryde. Alternatively a buyer may wish to develop the

smaller of the 2 new houses and restore the existing house

for personal use.

This elegant 'Gentleman's Residence' is believed to date from

around 1850 and is in the style of an Italianate Villa

popularised by Prince Albert, the Prince Consort, at Osborne

House. Whilst in need of renovation, the property retains

many of its original period features including doors, deep

skirtings, wide floorboards, fireplaces, timber window

shutters, cornicing and plasterwork. In private ownership for

nearly its whole life the property was until recently let out.

The first floor has views of the sea between the trees.

The property is constructed largely of dressed stone with

brick dressings. The roofs are mainly of slate and mostly

hipped.

occupation of the first of the two new houses to be built

and occupied OR within 18 months of the Sale or Disposal

SITE PLAN

PLOT 1 PLOT 2

The Isle of Wight, situated off the South Coast of England, is becoming an ever-more

popular location for permanent and second homes. Made popular by Queen Victoria,

who had her maritime residence at Osborne, the Island is famous for sailing in the

Solent; for Cowes Week; for its beautiful coastline including sandy beaches and The

Needles; spectacular countryside and long sunshine hours. Sainsburys, Tesco, M&S,

Waitrose, Lidl and Aldi all now have a presence as have many other national chains.

Communication and transport links are excellent; regular car ferries connect with the

national motorway network and fast catamarans have connections via Southampton and

Portsmouth with direct trains to London Waterloo which can be reached within 2 hours

of leaving the Island shore. Government-funded schools are numerous and independent

schools (Ryde School and Priory School) thrive on the Island with some children

attending prep and public schools on the mainland. Leisure opportunities abound -

walking, riding, paragliding, hang-gliding, team sports, sailing, wind surfing and other

water sports, rugby, football (Newport Football Club) cricket and golf clubs. Good

transport links enable day trips to the shopping centres of West Quay, Southampton and

Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth.

Ryde is the largest town on the Isle of Wight and has an array of fine Georgian and

Portsmouth to the end of the pier and there is also a direct train from the pier through to

Shanklin. To the East of Ryde there are the popular sailing villages which include,

Seaview, St Helens and Bembridge. To the West of Ryde is Newport which is the main
