Originally stables to neighbouring Barnsley Farm which dates back to the mid 1700’s the house sits on the edge of a central courtyard along with a handful of other residential dwellings, three of which are period conversions and there are plans for two modern houses. Converted by the current owner in 2002 and further extended in 2017, The Stables now provides a particularly striking, light and spacious family home, comprising three bedrooms and two bathrooms with a stunning sitting/dining room with its historic timber beams, rafters and stone walls. There is plenty of outside space with a large, graveled driveway, workshop, space for garaging and gardens extending in a southerly aspect.
The property benefits from easy access to both nearby Ryde and Seaview. Ryde has a good range of shops, restaurants, a marina, an excellent sandy beach, Ryde School and frequent fast passenger ferry services to Portsmouth and Southsea (taking 12-15 minutes). The pretty coastal town of Seaview has a popular sailing club and a further beach ideal for a range of watersports. There is a golf course nearby at Westridge. There is also easy access to the Fishbourne to Portsmouth car ferry (about 3 miles away) and taking around 40 minutes.
