This substantial detached building sits on Rye’s historic Cinque Ports Street and combines two ground-floor retail units with a self-contained two-bedroom apartment above. The property’s three separate entrances and generous retail frontages offer clear flexibility for separate commercial lets or for an owner-operator to run a business from below and live above. The apartment provides a bright double-aspect open-plan living/dining space, a modern fitted kitchen and two double bedrooms.
For investors, the layout is a straightforward dual-income prospect: two commercial tenants at street level plus a residential tenant upstairs, all under one freehold. The town-centre location brings strong passing trade and easy access to local amenities, public transport and tourist footfall that support retail demand.
Be clear about the constraints: there is no obvious private garden or dedicated parking, and the plot is small—typical for a town-centre mixed-use building. Internal retail areas include lower ceilings in places and are compact compared with modern shop units. Local crime levels are above average, which may affect insurance and security costs. Overall the building is well placed for investors or owner-occupiers who prioritise trade and location over external space.
