Melville Street, Ryde, PO33 2AE

Wrafton House occupies an elevated and convenient position on Melville Street, just a short stroll from the heart of Ryde. Union Street and the wider town centre offer an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, while Ryde’s sandy beach, seafront and Esplanade are also within comfortable walking distance. Regular passenger services from the FastCat and Hovertravel provide excellent connections to the mainland, with onward rail links available from Portsmouth. Despite its central location, Wrafton House is pleasantly set back from the road and benefits from communal gardens and generous residents’ parking.

Features -

Full Description - Nestled within the attractive and well-maintained Wrafton House, this beautifully light and spacious second-floor apartment forms part of a handsome Victorian conversion with an impressive bow-fronted façade and a more modern addition to the rear. The apartment enjoys a peaceful yet extremely convenient setting, tucked slightly away from the main thoroughfare while remaining within easy walking distance of Ryde town centre, the seafront and direct mainland travel connections. It would make an excellent permanent home, Island retreat, commuter base or investment opportunity. Internally, the accommodation extends to approximately 623 sq. ft. and feels bright and airy throughout. The comfortable living room opens through to a particularly generous kitchen and dining room, allowing the two spaces to flow naturally while retaining their own distinct identities. Well-positioned windows introduce plenty of natural light and provide attractive outlooks towards the communal gardens, with glimpses across to the sea and mainland from the kitchen/dining room. Both bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles, while the bathroom is fitted with a practical white suite. Further benefits include double glazing and electric heating. The property now enjoys the reassurance of a newly refreshed 125-year lease. Outside, residents have use of the established communal gardens, which are predominantly laid to lawn, together with a generous parking area providing ample unallocated residents’ parking. Wrafton House is professionally managed and presents as a well-cared-for building in a particularly desirable and accessible part of Ryde.
