KEY FEATURES
SUMMARY
This unlisted attached late Victorian 2/3 bedroom character home, now in need of some modernisation and improvement, offers charming, flexible accommodation and would suit any number of different purchasers, including those looking for a second home or someone looking for a rental opportunity. Set over three floors, the principal accommodation comprises: a cosy sitting room; generous dining room; galley style kitchen with breakfast area at one end which gives access to a very private courtyard space; two doubles bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom; separate shower room, and attic room, which could be a third single bedroom or an office, study, studio or hobby space. Step out of the front door, and you are a few steps away from the lovely Rye Salts and just a short walk from the centre of the town and its many amenities. Step out of the back door and you enter a very private haven where you can leave the worries of the world behind. This property also benefits from a parking space and garage to the front. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate all that this quirky property has to offer.
