1 bed terraced house for sale

Hylands Yard, Rye TN31

A great deal of love, care and attention has been given by the current vendors, not only to creating a stylish blend of modern living and period charm, but also to the layout and special design. Set over three floors, there is a cosy sitting room, kitchen and conservatory which looks out onto an outside atrium area on the ground floor, a double bedroom, walk-in closet and bathroom on the first floor, and an attic room to the second floor which acts as an occasional guest bedroom and studio. The fact that this property is situated in a highly desirable tourist area means that it could also provide a wonderful rural retreat or holiday home for someone looking for a quieter life, or possible commercial opportunity as a holiday let or Air B & B. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate all that this very special cottage has to offer.

Location

Situation: The cottage is tucked away in a secluded terrace just off of the main thoroughfare in the heart of the Conservation Area of the historic and very charming Cinque Port town of Rye, renowned for its cobbled streets, medieval fortifications, period architecture and beautiful parish church. Although the town is steeped in history, it also caters for every day modern life and has a comprehensive range of shopping, health and leisure facilities. Rye has also become something of an arts centre with many galleries and local craft shops. There is also an annual Rye Arts and International Jazz Festival and a two-screen Kino cinema complex. The Romney marsh countryside that surrounds Rye is spectacular and with the coast just a stones throw away, there are many good walks and leisure activities to pursue. There are a wide choice of educational opportunities nearby in both the state and public sectors and for transport, the town has local train services to Eastbourne / Brighton and to Ashford, where the high speed connection to London St. Pancras can have you in the capital in 37 minutes.

Sitting Room (3.71m x 3.58m)

The front door opens into a most welcoming sitting room that is open to the kitchen beyond. A period style fireplace with multi-fuel log burner gives a cosy focal point and the beautiful parquet flooring gives the whole space a lovely warm feeling. A bay window to the front looks over the approach to the cottage and the pretty garden beyond.

Kitchen (3.66m x 2.84m)

An open doorway from the sitting room leads to the country style painted kitchen, which is both beautiful and functional. There are a range of cupboards both base and wall.

Conservatory (2.26m x 1.80m)

This lovely light space, with its tiled floor, underfloor heating and views over the outside atrium, is the perfect place to sit, eat, work or simply relax. A door takes you outside where there is room for pots and statues. A brick built shed for external storage and a gate takes you through to a path that leads past the neighbours back doors to an alleyway which joins with the front path to the cottages.

Bedroom / Walk In Closet (3.71m x 3.07m)

This good size double bedroom with its large walk-in closet, has views over the pretty garden to the front. Stripped floorboards. Nb: The closet was in the past a bathroom and the bathroom next door, a second bedroom. It may be possible to convert these back should anyone wish to.

A beautiful generous bathroom with both contemporary and period twists, consisting of: A panelled bath with mixer tap and hand held shower attachment; wash hand basin with storage drawers below, and WC.

Attic Room (3.71m x 2.97m)

A Velux window brings in lots of natural light and gives glorious views over the roof tops towards the windmill. Plenty of eaves storage to both side of the room (unmeasured).

Garden

A gate at the start of the terrace opens onto a paved path which leads to the front door. Opposite the front door, a further gate opens into the delightful garden, which is completely in keeping with the character of the cottage. A grass area with mature planting takes you through to a secret garden where a patio makes a secluded place to sit and relax. An elevated summerhouse covered in clematis is also a tempting retreat from the world.
