Vectis Hall, Melville Street, Ryde, Isle Of Wight, PO33 2AN
Sold Prior

Melville Street is a popular and sought-after residential address in central Ryde.

Built in 1812, and reputedly the town’s first free school, the Vectis Hall has since gone on to be utilised in a number of different guises, including as a community hall, making full use of the very substantial space available, which includes a main hall, smaller secondary hall and other accommodation. Vectis Hall is now in need of a programme of significant upgrading and refurbishment.

The accommodation includes a former caretaker/manager's flat. It is considered the Vectis Hall could serve a wide number of future potential uses, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.
