6 bedroom detached house for sale

Set within sweeping countryside and enjoying far-reaching views, this impressive 1920s home combines period charm with modern comfort in a wonderfully peaceful yet convenient location. Overlooking the island’s steam railway line and former Ashey station, it sits amid beautiful rural scenery with direct access to idyllic walks, while still being moments from Ryde and Seaview. Both offer excellent amenities, beaches, and transport links, including fast passenger ferries to the mainland and nearby car ferry services. The interior is spacious, light, and thoughtfully updated. A recently redesigned entrance and boot room with natural stone flooring and underfloor heating leads into the vaulted hallway, setting a warm and welcoming tone. The main sitting room is a standout feature, triple aspect, filled with character, and centred around an original open fireplace, with large bay windows and patio doors that frame the garden and the countryside beyond. A peaceful study and a charming sunroom add versatile extra spaces. The kitchen has been newly fitted with shaker-style cabinetry, quartz worktops, quality appliances, and garden views. It flows into a bright dining room with oak flooring, integrated shelving, and picture windows overlooking Culver Down. The architect-designed garden room is an exceptional contemporary addition, featuring sliding glass walls, a living roof, and underfloor heating, creating a seamless transition between indoors and out. Further ground-floor accommodation includes a utility room, an additional sitting or hobby room, and a double bedroom with paddock views. Upstairs, a generous galleried landing leads to five well-proportioned double bedrooms, all with superb rural outlooks. The principal bedroom benefits from dual-aspect views, a walk-in dressing room, and a modern ensuite, while a refurbished family bathroom serves the remaining rooms. The gardens are beautifully landscaped, wrapping around the home with year-round colour, mature trees, and thoughtfully designed planting. A large, raised terrace offers outstanding space for outdoor dining and entertaining, while a pergola-covered barbecue area and glazed viewing terrace enhance the outdoor experience. The property also adjoins a paddock, perfect for those seeking additional space and privacy.

What the Owner says:
It always felt very special to live in the iconic white house on the downs, before we lived here we often wondered what it was like and were not disappointed when we were lucky enough to eventually have that chance.

The house lends itself very much to entertaining with the balconies and terraces and the views are incredible; the highlight has to be the steam train that can be seen from them all – a particular favourite with the grandchildren.

The house manages to balance the rural lifestyle and isolation with the easy proximity to both beaches and shops, a truly lovely house in a beautiful setting.
