This Grade II listed terrace in the heart of Rye offers a rare blend of period character and practical family living. Exposed beams, an inglenook-style fireplace and painted brick elevations give the house obvious historic charm, while the three-storey layout provides four bedrooms and flexible reception space for modern needs.
The property is compact overall with a small rear courtyard and access to communal gardens, making it low-maintenance outside. It is chain free and centrally located, within easy walking distance of Rye’s shops, eateries and railway station — convenient for daily life and weekend escapes to the coast.
Buyers should be aware that listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate renovation work. The home has secondary glazing, solid brick walls likely without insulation and an EPC rating of E, so energy improvements will be constrained and could require specialist listed-building consent. There is one full bathroom plus a cloakroom, which may be limiting for larger families.
This house suits purchasers seeking an authentic period home to update sympathetically — ideal for those who value character and location over large outdoor space. Practical positives include mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, while the layout offers scope for cosmetic improvement rather than wholesale structural change.
