About
Situated within walking distance of the centre of Rye, this property offers the convenience of a town location combined with open views over grazing land to the rear.
With nearby rural walks and countryside close at hand, it provides a pleasant balance between town and country living.
The accommodation is arranged over two levels, with the main reception rooms located on the first floor to take advantage of the outlook.
From here, there are attractive far-reaching views across the surrounding landscape, towards the town and coast beyond.
The house and gardens have been well loved over the years but would now benefit from some updating.
The layout is flexible and offers good scope for improvement, presenting an opportunity for a buyer to modernise and adapt the space to suit their own needs.
Outside, a courtyard-style garden wraps around three sides of the house. A raised decked terrace provides a comfortable spot from which to enjoy the views.
The property also benefits from an attached garage and a large, useful store.
Overall, this is a well-located home with clear potential, offering an appealing outlook and the chance to create a comfortable property in a popular area of Rye.
EPC Rating: D Location Situation: Just an approximate 8 minute walk from the centre of the charming Cinque Port town of Rye, this home enjoys one of the town's most popular locations.
Rye’s cobbled lanes, medieval fortifications, period buildings and beautiful parish church create an atmosphere unlike anywhere else - rich in history yet wonderfully alive with culture and everyday amenities.
The town offers everything needed for modern living, including a wide range of shops, health services and leisure facilities.
It has also become a thriving hub for the arts, with numerous galleries, independent craft shops, the much-loved annual Rye Arts and International Jazz Festival, and a stylish two-screen Kino cinema.
Surrounded by the dramatic landscapes and with the coast only moments away, the area is perfect for long walks, cycling, birdwatching and a host of outdoor pursuits.
Educational options are excellent, with a wide choice of both state and independent schools nearby.
For commuters, Rye provides local train services to Eastbourne/Brighton and Ashford, where High Speed rail links offer swift access to London St Pancras in as little as 37 minutes, bringing the capital comfortably within reach while allowing you to return home to the peace and charm of this lovely home.

Access is available at ground floor level, leading into the main entrance hall with space for coats, or via the lower ground floor, adjacent to the attached garage.
