luxury seaside houses for sale Ryde, United Kingdom

Meonshore House is a beautifully maintained and modernised Edwardian home built in 1925 which has been sympathetically improved to cater for a modern lifestyle, and yet, has retained many of the period features associated with the Edwardian era. The coastal location is quite simply breathtaking with uninterrupted 180 degree views across the Solent towards Ryde and Cowes on the Isle of Wight and further west down towards Hurst Castle and also into Southampton Water. The view is never the same as the light is constantly changing creating a variety of cloud formations and amazing sunsets. In the foreground is the Bramble Bank, notorious amongst local boaters as a hazard, but also well known for an annual cricket match held in the summer on the bank at low water between the Island Sailing Club in Cowes and the Royal Southern Yacht Club in Hamble. Access to Hill Head and a short walk to Meon Shore is across Cliff Road down a flight of steps and is very popular with all forms of water sports from Paddle Boarding and Kayaking to Kite Surfing, Wing Foiling and everything in between. There is also the occasional sight and sound of a Spitfire based at Solent Airport that operates scenic flights around the Isle of Wight. If you are looking for a less energetic pastime there is Titchfield Haven Nature Reserve 5 minutes walk from the house which is home to a very diverse variety of native and migratory birds that include Oyster Catchers, Marsh Harriers, Egrets and Brent Geese. Access to marinas in Portsmouth Harbour and the River Hamble are both within easy reach by car. Hill Head is an exclusive and popular location home to the Hill Head Sailing Club and a small picturesque harbour that dries out at low water into which the River Meon, a well known Hampshire chalk stream, flows into the sea at this point. There is also a popular cafe and the Osbourne View, a very popular beach front pub, which was destroyed by fire in February 2024 is to be rebuilt in a modern contemporary style with a beach bar and more formal dining areas at street level all with views across the Solent. Stubbington Village is 1.5 miles away with a wide range of amenities including a small supermarket, greengrocers, bakery, coffee shops and hairdressers. There is also a pharmacy, a library and a medical centre. The historic village of Titchfield with its 7th century church, the oldest in Hampshire, the ruins of Titchfield Abbey and the Great Barn where it is thought that William Shakespeare first performed Twelfth Night is a delightful place to visit just 2.3 miles away. The accommodation which has been beautifully maintained and modernised has retained many of the original features associated with the Edwardian era such as the black and white tiled floor in the entrance hall, the internal doors to most rooms and the stairs that lead to the first floor. There is the addition of a porch at the front of the house that leads into the entrance hall which, in turn, gives access to a spacious sitting room that has a large bay window with views out to the Solent and through which the afternoon and evening sun streams and a very efficient Chesneys log burner for cosy winter evenings. To the other side of the hall is another reception room currently used as a study with identical views to the sitting room and which has a cast iron gas coal effect fire in an oak surround with a granite hearth. There are high quality hand built oak bookshelves incorporating storage cupboards to each chimney recess with a matching built in crescent shaped desk and cabinet.

A further guest bathroom also fitted in 2019 serves the 2 other guest bedrooms which also have adjoining dressing rooms with restricted ceiling height but which could easily be converted to ensuite facilities. The spacious landing features a picture window framing the waterside view and which would provide space to create another staircase giving access to the large roof space where a studio or similar could be created with a large apex window looking out to sea. The suggested alterations would all be subject to the necessary Planning and Building Regulations consent. Outside to the rear of the property is an enclosed and professionally landscaped garden that mixes the formality of well stocked herbaceous borders with the informality of a woodland area which contains a variety of specimen trees that include Himalayan Birch, Bay, Holly and Chestnut trees. There are terraced areas for entertaining and brick pathways that provide access to all areas of the garden including to an attractive cedar hexagonal summer house with power and light and an ornamental pond with a water feature, as well as an aluminium greenhouse and large timber garden tool shed constructed in 2023.
