This attached Victorian home offers generous, versatile accommodation across four levels — approximately 128 m² (1,378 sq ft) — in the heart of Rye, an easy walk from the town centre and railway station. Three bedrooms, two reception rooms and a self-contained studio/former shop give scope for a home office, rental income or reconfiguration to suit family life.
Light fills the principal rooms and the property benefits from a southerly, low-maintenance courtyard garden and a modern kitchen. Practical features include mains gas central heating, double glazing and good mobile and broadband connectivity — useful for remote working and family needs.
There are clear renovation and maintenance considerations: the EPC is band E, the solid brick walls likely lack insulation, and external joinery and roof show weathering and moss. The layout includes a lower-ground annexe and former shopfront which may require planning checks if major changes are intended. On-street parking only and a small plot mean outdoor space and vehicle parking are limited compared with suburban homes.
Overall, this is a characterful period property that will reward a buyer seeking central Rye living with scope to improve energy performance and refresh finishes. It suits families or buyers wanting flexible accommodation near local schools, shops and the coastline, and it offers potential to add value with targeted refurbishment.
