Lot 189 Freehold Former Hotel Now Arranged As Two Large Maisonettes With PotentialAuction Date:
18th September 2025
70 St. Johns Road, Ryde, Isle Of Wight, PO33 2BA
This landmark freehold building is situated at the junction of St Johns Road and Monkton Street, close to Ryde St Johns Road railway station. Originally built as the Terminus Hotel by the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway Company to support the adjoining railway station, the building has in more recent times been converted into two large maisonettes.
The upper maisonette has been vacant for some years, while the lower maisonette enjoys an unusual and quirky twist with the inclusion of the space beneath one of the railway arches incorporated into the accommodation which we are advised was once arranged as a gymnasium, and prior to that the space was used for some years as a recording studio. While in need of significant upgrading and refurbishment, it is considered that the building is very worthy of the works required, beyond which there is scope and potential for a splendid single family dwelling or for conversion into a number of residential units, potentially an HMO, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable. The building enjoys the benefit of rear pedestrian and vehicular access via Monkton Street.
Accommodation
A range of rooms set over three floors, with the lower floor maisonette having both a bathroom and shower room, both with W.C.'s. The upper maisonette occupying the top two floors has been largely stripped out.
Council Tax Band
Lower Flat A and Upper Flat (70A) Deleted.
