New Road, Rye

Barnaby Osborne in Partnership with Nested market this spacious three bedroom detached bungalow which offers versatile living accommodation in a highly desirable location, just a short, level walk from the historic centre of Rye and the train station.

The property features level access throughout and is well-suited to buyers seeking single-storey living with the added benefit of the potential to convert the loft, significantly increasing the overall accommodation size with it currently being unextended, sitting on a 0.19 acre plot (TBV), it has potential for significant enlargement under Permitted Development rules, with positive opportunities for more significant planning improvements subject to the usual consents. The generous lounge/diner provides a bright and welcoming space for relaxing or entertaining with a feature log burner and patio doors leading to the garden. Three well-proportioned bedrooms (one of which is currently used as a dressing room), provide ample space, an open plan kitchen and family bathroom are also benefits. The current loft room is well insulated and used as an occasional bedroom and workroom but we believe there is the possibility to convert the loft into two bedrooms and a family bathroom, subject to the usual consents.

The outside space is a particular highlight, featuring a large, level rear garden that is mainly laid to lawn and bordered by a variety of mature shrubs and plants. A separate patio area provides an ideal spot for outdoor dining or relaxing in the warmer months, while the garden is securely enclosed, making it suitable for children and pets. To the left hand side of the property, a detached garage offers additional storage or potential workshop space and is easily accessed from the driveway. There is also a small greenhouse and a further outbuilding at the back of the garden. The bungalow is approached via an in and out driveway, which provides parking for multiple vehicles and ensures both convenience and privacy. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a detached bungalow with such generous outside space and potential, all within easy reach of Rye’s excellent amenities, shops, and transport links. Early viewing is highly recommended. The plot is wide and deep, and may be well suited to the government's new "houses in gardens" legislation. In addition to that, Permitted Development rights have not been exploited and remain fully usable, and there is also considerable potential to alter or enlarge the property, subject to planning permission.
