This top-floor, two-bedroom apartment occupies a characterful Grade II listed building in central Rye, offering compact, well-presented living in a highly walkable location. Bright dual-aspect rooms, exposed period features and a small private balcony provide genuine charm and pleasant rooftop views over historic streets. The layout suits a first home, bolthole or income-producing holiday let.
Practical details matter: the property is leasehold with approximately 110 years remaining and is sold chain-free. Maintenance is handled "as and when" with the owner responsible for a 25% share of costs. Heating is electric via a boiler and radiators; the building construction is timber-framed with no assumed insulation, so further energy improvements may be needed.
The apartment’s compact footprint (about 528 sq ft) means rooms are small-to-average in size; finishes are traditional and well maintained but modest. As a listed building, any alterations will be subject to listed-status constraints and could complicate renovations. The area has above-average recorded crime, which prospective buyers should factor into security and insurance considerations.
For buyers seeking an authentic Rye address close to independent shops, cafés, the train station and the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, this chain-free flat delivers character and convenience. It represents clear value for a first-time buyer or investor prepared to work within listed-building and leasehold parameters.
