Summary - 87 WINCHELSEA ROAD RYE TN31 7EL
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Large adaptable layout close to Rye centre and transport links.
Three bedrooms plus studio and lower-ground annexe
A substantial Victorian semi-detached house arranged over several floors, offered with a Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease price guide for over-60s. The property extends to around 128 m² (1,378 sq ft) and includes three bedrooms, two reception rooms, a separate studio/former shop and a lower-ground annexe — ideal for multigenerational living, hobbies or an independent guest space.
Practical positives include a modern fitted kitchen, southerly low-maintenance garden with decking, double glazing, mains gas boiler and convenient walking distance to Rye town centre and the railway station. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support staying connected; flood risk is very low.
Notable drawbacks are factual: the house is a historic solid-brick build (pre-1900) likely lacking wall insulation, and the listing notes areas of neglect, damp and mould that will need attention. The plot is small and crime levels in the area are reported above average. Tenure details are not confirmed; interested buyers must verify through their solicitor. Some services and measurements are untested and approximate.
For qualifying purchasers aged 60+, the Home for Life Lifetime Lease offers a lower purchase price than market value. Guide lifetime-lease price shown is £258,000 (illustrative average saving ~33% against the £385,000 market price); the final price depends on age, circumstances and any shared equity chosen (up to 50%). If you are under 60 or prefer to buy at full market value, normal sale options apply.
