Step into a chain-free, two-bedroom maisonette within easy walking distance of Rye town centre. The flat offers a private entrance, allocated off-street parking and long lease with a share of freehold — practical benefits for a first home or buy-to-let starter. Bright rooms and countryside views create an inviting place to live without major alteration.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors with a generous kitchen/breakfast room and lounge/diner on the lower level, and two double bedrooms plus a bathroom (separate shower and bath) on the upper level. Large double-glazed windows capture views over Rye Citadel, the River Brede and surrounding countryside, adding character and natural light.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is electric via a boiler and radiators, which can be more expensive than gas in this area. The property sits in a medium flood-risk zone and the local crime rate is above average — both important for insurance and future running costs. The flat is average in overall size (about 809 sq ft) and will suit buyers who prioritise location and views over extra living space.
With a very long lease (961 years) and share of freehold, ongoing tenure concerns are minimal. For a first-time buyer seeking a town-fringe base with parking and pleasant outlooks, or an investor wanting a straightforward rental proposition close to amenities, this maisonette offers clear value — provided you factor in energy costs and flood/insurance considerations.
