We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
* chain free * A truly individual and deceptively spacious detached family home, occupying a unique position in the heart of the historic town of Rye and enjoying wonderful views across the adjoining harbour.
Offered to the market for only the second time in approximately 45 years, the property provides exceptionally versatile accommodation arranged over three floors and would be equally suited to family living, those working from home or buyers looking for flexible guest accommodation.
The ground floor is approached via a conservatory entrance which opens into a generous entrance hall.
From here there is access to a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining room, fitted with a range of units and integrated appliances with ample space for a large dining table.
There are also two double bedrooms and a shower room/WC on this level.
On the first floor is a particularly impressive living room, enjoying a bright double aspect with sliding doors opening directly onto a large balcony overlooking the harbour.
Currently utilised as a bedroom, this room further demonstrates the flexibility of the accommodation. A further double bedroom and family bathroom are also located on this floor.
The second floor provides a superb room measuring approximately 30ft in length, currently arranged as a substantial home office/studio.
This fantastic space offers a variety of potential uses and could, subject to any necessary consents, create an impressive principal bedroom suite with dressing area and en-suite facilities.
In its current arrangement, the house comfortably provides four/five bedroom accommodation.
Outside, gated off-road parking is provided to the front, whilst gardens extend to the side and rear with areas of lawn, established planting and patio seating areas.
There is also a large garden shed providing useful additional storage.
A genuinely unusual home in a fantastic Rye location, combining generous and adaptable accommodation with a rarely available harbourside setting.
