Quarr Hill, Ryde
£575,000

This wonderfully individual detached cottage was historically home to the gardener of the Quarr Estate. Subsequently it has been modified and extended to form a family home complete with connected annex offering huge flexibility and a potential source of income. It can be found to the north side of Quarr Hill with ancient woodland as it's backdrop and the open fields to the south side of the hill as its pleasant outlook. 'Quarr Oaks' occupies a 1/4 of an acre plot overall including lawned gardens, a sizeable patio, double garage and driveway parking. The main cottage comprises three double bedrooms and two reception rooms whilst the sizeable annex provides one to two bedrooms and two reception rooms plus a conservatory. The architectural heritage and style of this period cottage lends itself to an interior finish from the classic to the contemporary making this an exciting option for the appropriate buyer. Quarr is peripheral to Binstead Village centre and walking distance for most to nearby Quarr Abbey, The Coastal Path and Binstead's natural beach. The Coastal Path route connects to neighbouring towns and villages and is a stunning walking route directly passing Quarr Abbey. It is adjacent to the main thoroughfare leading to the principal towns of Newport and Ryde and even closer to the car ferry at Fishbourne. There are several schools in Ryde including Ryde School, a well respected independent school accommodating all ages. Highspeed passenger connections to mainland Portsmouth and Southsea are found along Ryde's Esplanade with the catamaran leaving from Ryde's iconic pier.
