Description
Tucked away in a quiet but central location, this charming Victorian cottage has enjoyed significant upgrading over the years, and benefits from parking, a delightful front garden plus a rear courtyard.

Built in 1860, this characterful two-bedroom cottage is nestled in a charming enclave just off of Ryde High Street, close enough to benefit from all the eclectic shops and restaurants but with all the peace and quiet of this hidden location.

Exuding the traditional character and charm that one would expect from a Victorian property, 14 Bedworth Place was significantly refurbished by the previous occupiers and has since been very well-maintained by the current owners of five years. Upon entering the property through a recently installed composite entrance door, the accommodation comprises a light and bright entrance lobby, a dining room featuring a wood-beamed ceiling and a useful pantry, a cottage-style kitchen leading to a stylish shower room, and an inviting lounge with a cosy working Victorian fireplace. Upstairs are two good-sized double bedrooms with ample built-in wardrobes for storage in one of the rooms.

Outside, the property enjoys a fabulous garden to the front along with off-road parking for one vehicle and there is a delightful west-facing walled courtyard to the rear enjoying the afternoon sunshine into the evening.

In addition to being conveniently positioned for the High Street, 14 Bedworth Place is just a short walk away from the lovely Victorian seafront with its miles of glorious sandy beaches, and the many amenities to be found on the Esplanade such as ten-pin bowling and an open-top swimming pool. Another benefit of being so close to the seafront is having easy access to high-speed mainland travel connections with the Wightlink catamaran service to Portsmouth and the Hovercraft to Southsea. The seafront is also home to the bus station and the Island Line train station, providing connections across the island. Furthermore, the Fishbourne to Portsmouth car ferry service is located just a few miles away.

Welcome to 14 Bedworth Place
Approaching the front of the property via a garden pathway, a charming arched side entrance provides a separation from the neighbouring cottage and leads to a beautiful entrance door in a pleasant duck-egg green shade.

Entrance Lobby (4.01m x 1.42m max (13'2 x 4'8 max))
With a polycarbonate roof and a tiled floor, the entrance lobby includes internal windows to the kitchen, a partially glazed door to the rear courtyard, and a multi-pane glazed door that opens to the dining room.

Dining Room (2.97m x 2.74m (9'9 x 9))
With an under-stair pantry-style cupboard, attractive floorboard-style carpeting, and an open doorway to the kitchen with glass panels on either side and cornicing above edged with a pretty gingham fabric. There is also a glazed panel door leading to the staircase lobby and lounge.

Kitchen (2.34m x 1.91m (7'8 x 6'3))
A cottage-style kitchen with attractive green-coloured base units combined with a speckled countertop and a stone-tiled splashback. There is a stainless-steel sink and drainer and a white gas cooker with a copper-style hood above and high shelving to each side. A lovely checked fabric is fitted above the internal side window to the entrance lobby and a ceramic tiled floor leads to a door to the downstairs shower room with a useful shelf above the door. Additionally, there is under-counter space for three appliances.

Shower Room
Presented with stylish stone-style floor and wall tiling, this room provides a dual flush w.c, a wood-effect storage vanity unit with a hand basin, and an enclosed shower cubicle. There is also an opaque window to the rear aspect and a chrome heated towel rail.

Lounge (3.30m x 2.95m (10'10 x 9'8))
From the staircase lobby, a two-pane glazed door opens into the elegant lounge featuring an impressive Victorian working fireplace with attractive inset tiles, a white wood surround and a tiled hearth. The room benefits from a double-glazed door to the private front garden and a plush carpet which continues to the staircase and first floor rooms.

Upstairs Landing
Featuring an attractive glass brick internal window at the bottom of the stairwell, the carpeted staircase ascends to the first floor landing with access to a handy storage cupboard and a part boarded loft with a Velux window and ladder. Two original panel doors lead to:

Bedroom One (3.40m x 2.77m (11'2 x 9'1))
A carpeted double bedroom with a west-facing window to the charming rear courtyard and a corner hand basin with a tiled splashback.

Bedroom Two (2.90m x 2.82m (9'6 x 9'3))
Again, a carpeted double bedroom with a window overlooking the front gardens with a fabulous window storage bench underneath. Other benefits of the room include deep built-in wardrobes, drawers and cupboards plus a handy dressing table area. The room also houses a Vaillant gas combination boiler.

Outside
To the front of the property, a delightful cottage garden with a slim green lawn space showcases a variety of mature plant beds featuring pretty flowering shrubs, a pear tree, and well-kept hedging, creating privacy and interest for small wild birds. There is a useful storage shed, and an arched arbor leads through to a paved patio terrace surrounded by hedging, creating a secluded spot for a bistro table, from which you can relax and enjoy the morning sunshine. Providing access to the lounge, a glazed door from the patio is beautifully framed with climbing roses, further enhancing the pretty cottage appearance.

From the entrance lobby, a door leads to the charming walled rear courtyard garden, offering a relaxing outdoor haven to enjoy spending time in. This secluded space is fully decked and enjoys a pretty cherry tree plus raised flower beds featuring a grape vine producing grapes at the end of each summer season and a delightful Malus Red Jade climbing plant which meanders across the old stone wall. This enclosed courtyard provides privacy and warmth and there is also a calming water feature, plus space for a table and chairs. There is also an outside lantern to enjoy the later summer evenings.

Parking
To the front of the property is driveway parking for one vehicle. Bedworth Place also has three on-road parking spaces available, ideal for visitors.
