A bijou, chain-free apartment tucked into the heart of Rye, offered with immediate occupancy. The flat sits within a Grade II listed building and delivers compact, practical living across a split-level sitting room with raised kitchen, one double bedroom and a shower room. Its central position places shops, markets and the railway within easy walking distance—ideal for town-centre living or a rental let.
The accommodation is presented in serviceable order but benefits from cosmetic updating to maximise value: consider new flooring, kitchen upgrades and redecorating. The building’s timber-frame construction (original, assumed uninsulated) and listed status mean renovations will need specialist consent and careful specification. The property has double glazing (pre-2002), mains gas central heating and an EPC rating of C.
Tenure is leasehold with 107 years remaining; there is a small ground rent (£100) and an estimated 25% share for maintenance/insurance responsibilities (details TBC). Practical drawbacks include no private outdoor space, a narrow bedroom footprint, small bathroom and listed-status constraints that may complicate structural or external alterations. Crime levels recorded as above average locally—worth factoring into buy-to-let decisions.
For a buyer seeking a low-maintenance pied-à-terre, central second home or a rental investment, this compact flat offers a ready-made town-centre base with strong transport links, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Budget-conscious purchasers should allow for consent-related costs and cosmetic refurbishment to unlock rental or resale premium.
