Summary - 2A CINQUE PORTS STREET RYE TN31 7AD
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Central retirement flat with split-level living and convenient rail links.
Grade II listed central Rye apartment, chain free
A compact, characterful one-bedroom apartment tucked into a Grade II listed building in central Rye, offered with a Homewise Lifetime Lease option for buyers aged 60+. The split-level living room with a raised kitchen creates a light, open feel despite the modest 550 sq ft footprint; the flat also benefits from double glazing and gas central heating.
This property is particularly suited to someone seeking a low-maintenance town-centre base or a retirement pied-à-terre with easy access to Rye’s shops, rail links and nearby coastline. It is sold chain-free and has 107 years remaining on the lease; Homewise pricing example shows a Lifetime Lease guide price of £103,750 (market value £155,000) — final price varies by age and chosen share.
Important practical points are clear: the building’s Grade II listing restricts alterations and may complicate repairs or conversions. The building is timber-framed with assumed no cavity insulation, so thermal improvements could be limited and historic fabric may need specialist maintenance. Maintenance and insurance arrangements include a 25% share (details TBC); buyers should verify charges and responsibilities.
Overall this is a cosy, centrally located retirement-friendly home with period character and convenient transport links. It offers potential as a lock-up-and-leave residence or small investment, provided a purchaser accepts the constraints of listed status, the building’s construction and the tenure/lease details which must be confirmed by a solicitor.
