South Undercliff, Rye, TN31

This wonderful property, which has been immaculately presented by the current owner in an on trend mid-century vintage style, is bursting with character and charm. Not only that, but it is deceptively spacious, offering accommodation over three floors that would suit the needs of a number of different buyers including those looking for a permanent home, coastal retreat or investment opportunity.

On the ground floor there is a cosy sitting room with open fire that links through to the spacious dining room where there is also space for an office or study area if required. The double aspect contemporary kitchen is at the back of the house with a door opening onto the landscaped garden. The back window overlooks the garden. To the first floor, there is a good size modern bathroom, a separate cloakroom, useful utility cupboard and pretty double bedroom. On the second floor, a beautiful attic style double bedroom with extensive built-in storage, is a sanctuary away from the world. Outside, the private enclosed south facing garden houses a large purpose built, maintenance free shed, perfect for storing all your outside paraphernalia.

Situated a stone’s throw from the harbour and the centre of the picturesque town of Rye, this cottage is perfectly placed to take full advantage of all the amenities on offer, and for that reason, viewing is highly recommended.
