Summary - Happy House Landgate, Rye, East Sussex, TN31 TN31 7LH
4 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Live above a staffed business in Rye’s historic town centre with conversion potential.
Commercial ground floor fitted as takeaway with extraction and cold room
Freehold mixed-use end-terrace in central Landgate, Rye
Residential two-storey above: reception, shower room, two double bedrooms
Sold at auction — purchase subject to auction terms and timescales
Single bathroom for four bedrooms; internal spaces small-to-average
Serviceable condition but requires modernisation and redecoration
Small private courtyard and rear external storage/outbuilding
Area crime levels above average; town-centre location limits expansion potential
This period end-terrace on Landgate offers a rare live/work or investor opportunity in central Rye. The ground floor is fitted as a functioning takeaway with extraction, front customer area, rear kitchens, store rooms and a walk-in cold room — practical for continued foodservice use or reconfiguration subject to consents.
Residential accommodation sits over the first and second floors with a dual-aspect reception, shower room and two generous double bedrooms above. The building is narrow and long, typical of historic town-centre terraces, and includes a small private courtyard and rear external storage/outbuilding.
The property is sold at auction and offered freehold. Condition is serviceable but will benefit from modernisation and redecoration; the layout and narrow plan mean internal room sizes are small-to-average. Note: single bathroom for four bedrooms, small plot and town-centre position may limit extension potential without consent. Crime levels in the area are above average.
This is a practical proposition for an owner-operator, an investor seeking rental or holiday-let potential, or anyone planning a change of use (subject to planning). Immediate proximity to Rye’s shops, cafes and transport links gives strong footfall for a commercial use and genuine convenience for residential occupation.
