A compact detached cottage on the edge of Rye’s historic Citadel, this two-bedroom home suits downsizers seeking a town-centre pied-à-terre or small-family main residence. The ground floor offers a triple-aspect living room with adjoining dining area and a practical kitchen, while two first-floor bedrooms and a modern shower room complete the accommodation. The property is freehold with gas central heating and double glazing installed post-2002.
Outside there is a useful hardstanding at the front for off-street parking and a terraced rear garden arranged on two tiers; the garden and plot are small and low-maintenance. The location is a major draw — short walking distance to Rye’s shops, inns, weekly market and railway station with services to Brighton and Ashford.
Practical considerations are clear: internal space is cottage-compact (approximately 679 sq ft) and the plot is constrained, so this is best suited to someone seeking a manageable home rather than large gardens. EPC D and Council Tax Band D indicate moderate running costs; the property appears well-presented but buyers should allow for routine maintenance associated with older buildings and confirm any specific building work or consents required.
Overall this detached cottage offers characterful living in a prized central Rye position — appealing for downsizers wanting low-maintenance town living, second-home buyers or an investor seeking a centrally located rental. Viewings will confirm exact condition and scope for any cosmetic updating or targeted improvements.
