Summary - Link House, Mermaid Street TN31 7EU
3 bed 1 bath Character Property
Secluded courtyard garden and central Rye living in a charming period home.
Historic three-bedroom terraced cottage with strong period character
Set in the heart of Rye’s historic Citadel, this attached three-bedroom character cottage combines period charm with surprisingly private outdoor space. The ground floor offers a generous entrance hall, a sitting room with a feature fireplace, a cottage-style kitchen and a dining room that opens directly onto a secluded courtyard garden. The cobbled frontage provides off-street parking for one vehicle — a rare convenience in this tightly built centre.
Upstairs are three good-sized bedrooms with built-in storage, a family bathroom and a separate cloakroom. The house’s solid brick construction and exposed historic detailing give an authentic period feel, but also mean insulation is likely limited. The property has an EPC rating of E and uses a mains gas boiler and radiators for heating.
This home will suit buyers who prioritise location and character over large gardens: it sits a short walk from shops, cafés, schools and the mainline station, with the coast and Romney Marshes close by. Note practical considerations: council tax is above average, broadband speeds are typical for the area, and local crime statistics are higher than average. Overall, this is a welcoming, well‑located period retreat with private, low‑maintenance gardens and clear potential for energy improvements.
