Set back from a no-through road and elevated above Rye, this split-level detached house offers a peaceful, sun-filled spot with far-reaching town and countryside views. The south-facing front terrace and mature sloping gardens provide private outdoor space for gardening and relaxing. A single garage and driveway give convenient parking in a town-centre fringe location, approximately 750 yards from Rye’s historic centre.
The accommodation is practical and adaptable for downsizers: two double bedrooms (formerly three), a double-aspect living room with fireplace and sliding doors to the terrace, kitchen/breakfast room, separate cloakroom and a bathroom. Built in the 1970s and largely original in style, the house has good-sized rooms and storage but would benefit from updating to modern standards; the current EPC is D.
Notable positives include ultrafast broadband, excellent mobile coverage, mains services and low flood risk. Practical considerations are its Council Tax Band F, an above-average local crime rate, and the property’s mid-20th-century fittings and finishes which show scope for refurbishment. There is clear potential to reconfigure or modernise the layout (for example reinstating the third bedroom) to suit changing needs.
For someone looking to downsize without sacrificing outdoor space, or an owner-occupier wanting a central Rye location with scope to personalise, this property combines convenience, views and garden privacy. Its elevated position and generous plot make it an appealing canvas for light renovation.
