A substantial three-bedroom Victorian terraced house in central Rye, offered at auction with clear renovation scope and upside for an investor or experienced DIY buyer. Spread over four floors and around 1,480 sq ft, the property retains period character (bay window, fireplace) but requires a complete refurbishment throughout.
The layout includes two reception rooms, dining room, kitchen, lounge, bathroom and three bedrooms, plus a small rear garden. Flood risk is very low and tenure is freehold—useful for buyers seeking a straightforward title. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern rental or remote-working needs.
Important negatives are explicit: visible damp and mould in the living room, damaged ceiling, and general dereliction in the garden requiring clearance and landscaping. The area records above-average crime and the plot is small, which may limit extension potential without planning. Buyers should factor in full refurbishment costs, statutory fees and auction conditions before bidding.
This lot is sold unconditionally at online auction on 29 October 2025. A 10% deposit (minimum £5,000) and a Buyer’s Administration Fee (£1,200 + VAT) are payable on exchange, with completion typically required within 28 days. Review the legal pack carefully for additional costs and title details before registering to bid.
