Summary - 11 High Street TN31 7JF
8 bed 3 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious eight-bedroom period house with large garden and central Rye location.
Grade II listed, extensive period features and medieval vaulted cellar
A rare Grade II listed residence on Rye’s High Street, this substantial eight-bedroom house blends medieval fabric with a Georgian façade. With over 4,000 sq ft across three floors, the property offers generous ceiling heights, original panelling, exposed timber framing and a vaulted medieval cellar — features that will appeal to anyone seeking historic character and family-sized accommodation in a central town location.
Outside, the very large, mostly sheltered garden approaches a third of an acre and provides private lawn, mature specimen trees and a stone-paved terrace for entertaining. A gated private drive leads to a substantial garage and an attached garden room/studio, adding useful ancillary space and parking in the town centre.
Buyers should note this is a listed building within a conservation area. Listed status will affect alterations, maintenance choices and costs; repairs must respect heritage requirements. The property’s fabric is traditional — solid brick walls with assumed no insulation and secondary glazing — so upgrading thermal performance will require sensitive, potentially costly works. Some external cleaning and general restoration are apparent to restore the handsome façade.
Practical factors: mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, good broadband and mobile signal, and no flood risk. Council tax is relatively high and local crime statistics are above average. For families, local primary and secondary schools are within walking distance and regular rail links connect to Ashford and London, making this a liveable historic home with clear potential but notable conservation obligations.
