Property description

Enjoying a convenient position in the Haylands area, this well presented three-bedroom semi-detached home benefits from a contemporary cottage style throughout, a generous south-facing rear garden and rural views to the rear.

Originally dating back to 1850, this appealing period home offers touches of traditional charm combined with modern interiors, neutral decor and a versatile open-plan ground floor layout. The cottage has been updated throughout by the current owners of 10 years, with works including new double-glazing, a new combi boiler, replastering and all new flooring to the ground floor. The fabulous kitchen and recently updated bathroom have also been significantly upgraded to create a fantastic home ready for a new owner to enjoy.

Set in a convenient position close to the many amenities of Ryde, number 3 Colenutts Road is also perfectly situated to enjoy the surrounding countryside, with easy access to rural footpaths at the end of the cul-de-sac. Offering the best of all worlds, the location is within a 20-minute walk from the high street with its boutique shops, supermarkets and a superb choice of eateries. There is a choice of good local schools at primary and secondary level within the area, including Haylands Primary School rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted located just a short stroll from the cottage. Ryde Esplanade is also nearby which provides access to high-speed foot-passenger ferry services to the mainland and boasts long stretches of sandy beaches. Furthermore, the Fishbourne to Portsmouth car ferry service is located just a 10 minute drive away and regular transport connections across the Island are within easy reach with the Southern Vectis bus station and Island Line train line service situated on Ryde Esplanade.

Accommodation comprises an entrance lobby leading to the family bathroom and dining area, which is open plan to the lounge, to the kitchen and conservatory and to stairs to the first floor. Upstairs, a gallery landing provides access to a WC and three bedrooms.

Welcome To 3 Colenutts Road

Located in a quiet cul-de-sac, this Victorian semi-detached cottage has a characterful façade, painted in a neutral shade which matches the front wall. A path leads to the side elevation and to the front door, which is covered by a storm porch, complete with outside lights. The side path continues to a gate which gives access to the rear garden.

Entrance Lobby

The welcoming entrance hall is finished in a neutral scheme, complemented by recently laid, luxury vinyl tile flooring, which runs throughout the ground floor. A door leads to the family bathroom and a doorway opens to the dining area.

Dining Area/Snug (3.02m x 2.64m (9'11 x 8'8))

The neutral décor and luxury vinly flooring continues into the dining area which is open plan to the lounge and to the kitchen, enhancing the feeling of space and light. There is plenty of room for a dining set, or this area would make an ideal snug or playroom. Stairs lead up to the first floor.

Lounge (3.58m x 4.22m max (11'9 x 13'10 max))

An open arch from the dining area leads into the lounge, finished in a contemporary scheme and arranged around a feature fireplace wall, faced in granite and home to an open fire on a stone hearth and storage spaces complete with feature lighting. Cupboards fill the alcoves and one is home to the gas meter, plus a further cupboard neatly conceals the electric meter. The luxury vinyl flooring continues.

Kitchen (4.45m x 2.54m (14'7 x 8'4))

Recently refreshed, the kitchen comprises a good mix of floor, wall and full height cabinets, with modern grey doors complete with copper hardware, black roll edged worktops and grey metro tile splashbacks. There is a black composite 1.5 bowl sink and drainer, with chrome mixer tap, beneath a window which gives views into the conservatory and beyond. Integrated appliances include a wine fridge, dishwasher, two AEG ovens, a microwave and an AEG gas hob with matching extractor. The kitchen is also home to the recently serviced Glow Worm combi boiler. A breakfast bar makes good use of one wall, creating a social space, and there is plenty of space for a large American style fridge-freezer. Full height sliding doors fill the room with natural light and lead to the conservatory.

Conservatory (3.68m x 2.46m (12'1 x 8'1))

The conservatory spans the rear of the house, and the current owners have utilised it as a dining room previously. There is a tiled floor and double doors that lead out onto the terrace, plus space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, beneath a useful worktop.

Family Bathroom

Fully tiled in a contemporary grey scheme which perfectly complements the fresh white suite, the family bathroom is both luxurious and serene. There is a full size bath with shower over, complete with glass screen and a rainshower head, a matching low-level WC, and a beautifully designed wide ceramic vanity unit with a mixer tap and lots of useful storage under. There is a window with patterned glass for privacy, a modern matte grey heated towel rail, and the grey luxury vinyl floor continues.

First Floor Landing

The staircase benefits from smart white balustrade and painted handrail, leading up to a gallery landing. The staircase and landing are finished with a plush grey carpet. Doors lead to all three bedrooms and to a separate WC.

Bedroom One (4.24m x 3.66m reducing to 2.67m (13'11 x 12' reduc)

The largest bedroom features a chic colour scheme with a striking feature wall in dark patterned wallpaper. Fitted twin wardrobes have glazed doors and neatly fill the alcoves either side of a central chimney breast. There is a window looking out to the front aspect, and the plush grey carpet continues. There is also a hatch giving access to the loft space.

Bedroom Two (3.51m x 2.46m (11'6 x 8'1))

Also benefitting from neutral walls and a grey carpet, the second bedroom benefits from a window to the rear aspect, giving fabulous views over the garden and as far as The Downs in the background.

Bedroom Three (4.52m x 1.85m (14'10 x 6'1))

The third bedroom is a good size and is neutrally decorated with a complementary grey carpet. A window to the rear aspect shares a similar beautiful view as bedroom two.

Wc

Perfectly positioned to serve the three bedrooms, the WC is finished with neutral décor, a dark lino tiled floor and has a window with patterned glass for privacy. There is a low-level WC in white, with a matching compact vanity basin complete with a cupboard under.

Outside

To the front, a wall encloses a gravel area which creates a nice space between the house and the road, and there is a side path leading to a back gate, and on to the back garden. To the rear, from the conservatory, a raised paved terrace provides the perfect seating/dining area and has steps down to a generous size lawn. The generous south-facing rear garden makes the most of the sunshine throughout the day. To one side of the lawn a gravel path connects with the side gate and runs the length of the garden. The garden is enclosed with fencing, and to the end of the garden a further expanse of gravel is home to a greenhouse and three sheds, complete with power. A further path leads to a hardstanding, which could become another seating area or form the base to another garden building.

Parking

Non-restricted, on-street parking is available along Colenutts Road.
