Little Thorpe
Little Thorpe was completed in 2015 to a high standard and has been thoughtfully designed with modern day living in mind. The property has been built in a Georgian design and has many characterful features whilst benefitting from being a modern and efficient home. The accommodation is spacious and well-balanced, with the living accommodation opening to the attractive gardens and with five bedrooms (one being located on the ground floor), and all with en-suite facilities.
Accessed via double hardwood gates and a separate pedestrian gate all controlled by a security entry phone system, a gravel driveway is flanked with lawns and ornamental trees which leads to the house and triple garage. With the house set back from the road giving maximum privacy and seclusion.
Little Thorpe is located on the desirable Pitts Lance, which is a quiet and attractive setting, within easy reach of the town of Ryde providing further amenities. There are coastal footpaths only a short walk away, leading through woodland to Quarr Abbey, Ryde Gold Course, as well as to various beaches.
The house is conveniently located for access to mainland ferry links, with the Fishbourne to Portsmouth car ferry being about 2 miles away and with the Ryde to Portsmouth high speed ferry being about 2 miles away providing onward access and train services. Ryde has an extensive range of shops and restaurants, as well as a Marina and Ryde School. Wootton Creek provides further mooring facilities at the Royal Victoria Yacht Club.
