We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Welcome to 25 St Johns Hill Occupying a generous plot on St John’s Hill, this distinctive detached chalet-style home combines versatile accommodation with an abundance of natural light and a wonderfully spacious garden.
Behind its characterful steeply pitched façade lies a thoughtfully arranged interior, with a contemporary kitchen, an impressive L-shaped living and dining room and a comfortable ground-floor bedroom complemented by a family bathroom.
Upstairs, two further bedrooms include a particularly spacious principal room with a walk-in wardrobe, while a beautifully individual shower room brings a stylish finishing touch.
Outside, the substantial rear garden provides a wonderfully sunny and established setting, with mature trees and planting creating an attractive sense of privacy, while a separate patio, driveway and detached garage add further practicality.
St John’s Hill enjoys a convenient position within Ryde, placing the town’s varied shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities within easy reach while also providing straightforward access to the seafront and its extensive sandy beach.
Ryde is particularly well connected for both Island and mainland travel, with bus and rail links from the Esplanade together with Hovertravel’s frequent passenger service to Southsea, which crosses the Solent in around ten minutes.
The Approach Set back behind a generous driveway, the property has an immediately attractive appearance, with stone-faced elevations, a steeply pitched roof and planted frontage.
The detached garage sits conveniently alongside, while access to the side of the home leads through towards the garden and additional patio space.
On the Ground Floor The ground floor provides a flexible and welcoming arrangement of living accommodation.
A bright, modern kitchen is fitted with a combination of dark and light cabinetry complemented by marble-effect work surfaces, with a built-in oven, hob and contemporary extractor.
A glazed external door and window introduce plenty of natural light.
The principal reception space is an impressive L-shaped living and dining room, offering generous proportions and ample room for clearly defined sitting and dining areas.
Large windows draw natural light across the room, while an exposed timber beam adds a subtle touch of character and helps to define the two areas without interrupting the open feel.
Also positioned on this level is a comfortable double bedroom, offering useful flexibility for guests or those seeking bedroom accommodation on the ground floor.
A modern family bathroom is finished with striking blue tiling and incorporates a bath with shower over, pedestal wash basin and WC.
On the First Floor The first floor continues the sense of space and flexibility.
The principal bedroom is particularly generous and light, with the sloping roofline lending character to the room and a walk-in wardrobe providing valuable storage and dressing space.
A further bedroom enjoys an outlook across the rear garden and would work equally well as a bedroom, guest room or home office depending on requirements.
Completing this floor is a stylish shower room with real individuality.
Rich bronze-toned geometric tiling creates a striking backdrop to the enclosed shower, traditional-style pedestal basin and WC, resulting in a room that feels both luxurious and thoughtfully presented.
EPC Rating: D Garden One of the property’s most appealing features is its substantial rear garden.
Predominantly laid to lawn, it stretches away from the house beneath a collection of mature trees and established boundary planting, creating an attractive green outlook and a pleasing sense of enclosure.
Its sunny aspect provides plenty of scope for outdoor dining, gardening and family use, while the scale of the garden allows for a number of different seating or recreation areas.
To the side of the property is an additional paved patio area, offering a more sheltered spot for pots, seating or outdoor dining and providing convenient pedestrian access between the front and rear of the home.
Parking - Driveway A private driveway to the front provides off-road parking.
Parking - Garage A detached garage sits alongside the property and is accessed externally, providing useful secure parking or additional storage.
