Show more "Situated along the main Ryde to Newport bus route, Church House enjoys a prime location, just a short, pleasant stroll away from a delightful array of shops, restaurants, and inviting cafes. Adjacent to the house stands the awe-inspiring Parish Church of Ryde, often hailed as the 'Cathedral of the Isle of Wight.' Immerse yourself in the vibrant community as you discover nearby attractions such as a cinema, golf club, and library.

Ryde, known as the 'Gateway to the Isle of Wight,' offers excellent transport links to the mainland, with a passenger ferry docking at the end of the enchanting Victorian pier, while the hovercraft gracefully lands on the sandy beach beside it. And if you're in the mood for a leisurely stroll, the captivating Ryde esplanade is just a delightful 20-minute walk away.

​Within the walls of Church House, eight cosy bedsit-style rooms await, each thoughtfully equipped with a small kitchen area and a convenient en-suite shower room. Step into the welcoming embrace of the communal lounge and dining room, where laughter and conversation flow freely. Outside, a serene garden invites you to bask in the gentle caress of fresh air, offering a peaceful sanctuary for relaxation and reflection.

At Church House, our utmost priority is to create a home brimming with warmth and a genuine sense of belonging. We cultivate a friendly and caring atmosphere, where every day is an opportunity for joy. From engaging activities that spark laughter to heartfelt celebrations of special occasions, we strive to make each day at Church House a tapestry of unique experiences. A House Manager, residing within the home, ensures a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment, allowing you to embrace a life of happiness and tranquility, free from unnecessary worries.​

Meal times at Church House are cherished moments, where the entire household comes together in shared delight. Our talented team prepares two delectable, nourishing meals each day, lovingly crafted within the comforting confines of our home." Show less
