The first house to be built in this prestigious area, Westfield Park House was originally constructed in 1811 by the 2nd Earl Spencer, with Spencer Road being named after the Earl. The property has a rich history, becoming home to the French Royal family for a time, with regular visitors including Queen Victoria, and has in more recent years been sympathetically divided into a number of exclusive coastal apartments, all retaining the period character of the original building surrounded by well maintained and presented communal areas. No.1 has been well-maintained, is presented in a neutral scheme throughout and benefits from a private entrance. Accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall, two double-bedrooms, a spacious lounge and kitchen/diner and a well-appointed bathroom.
This apartment is the perfect base from which to enjoy some delightful walks, including strolls along the esplanade and the nearby Ladies Walk woodland footpath which passes Ryde Golf Club and leads to the historical Quarr Abbey, a magnificent monastery set amongst acres of countryside. Nearby, Ryde seafront boasts long stretches of sandy beaches with numerous seaside activities on offer, and there are good local primary and secondary schools nearby. Plenty of high street amenities are within short walking distance, including boutique shops and convenience stores, a superb choice of eateries and a local cinema. Another benefit of being so close to the seafront is having easy access to high-speed foot passenger travel to the mainland with Wightlinks catamaran service and the Hovercraft which only takes 10 minutes to cross the Solent. Additionally, the Fishbourne to Portsmouth car ferry service is located just 3.4 miles away from the property. Regular public transport connections across the Island are also within easy reach with the Southern Vectis bus network and Island Line train service providing regular services to/from Ryde.
