Set just a short walk from Rye’s historic centre, this bay-fronted mid-terraced home offers three good-size bedrooms and elevated views over open countryside. The layout includes a large through lounge/diner, kitchen, utility room, rear lobby and a single bathroom — practical spaces for family living. Front and rear gardens provide outdoor space, though the plot is small.
The house was built early 20th century and retains period character in its façade and bay window, while the principal bedroom occupies the entire top floor with dual-aspect countryside vistas. The property is freehold and of average overall size for the area, making it suitable for growing families seeking proximity to Rye’s amenities and schools.
Important practical points: the property needs renovation and modernisation throughout. Heating is by electric storage heaters, walls are cavity with assumed no insulation, and glazing is double but install date is unknown. There is a medium flood risk and local crime levels are above average — both factors to consider for insurance and security decisions. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and council tax is described as affordable.
This house will suit buyers looking to personalise a character home and add value through upgrading insulation, heating and finishes. Early viewing is recommended for those seeking countryside outlooks close to town, but budget for renovation, flood mitigation measures and security improvements.
