An exceptionally well sited modern town house in a popular development backing onto the waterside of the River Brede. The house would now benefit from some updating, and offers an integral garage and additional parking, along with a terrace and pretty riverside garden. Rye town centre is just a few minutes’ walk.
Description
5 Rock Channel Quay is in need of some updating but provides a rare opportunity to acquire a contemporary riverside town house in this popular Rye cul-de-sac, offering three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Perhaps most particularly are the wonderful views over the River Brede and beyond. The decked terrace and riverside garden are undoubtedly also features of this appealing property.
The elevations are of brick, part tile hung beneath a tiled roof. There is sealed unit double glazing and gas-fired central heating.
The main features are:
• A glazed panelled door leads to the enclosed porch with quarry tiled floor and exposed brick walls. A part glazed door leads to the inner hall/study area, a useful space that has been used as a small study area and has a range of adjustable bookshelves and a door leading through to the integral single garage. The cloakroom has a basin and WC, and an understairs storage area.
• A short flight of stairs leads to the mezzanine level where the sitting/dining room features an exposed brick wall with a tiled hearth and fitted gas log fire in an ornate grate, range of adjustable bookshelves and sliding patio doors leading out onto the excellent decked terrace which offers wonderful views over the River Brede and beyond and is perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining. A flight of stairs leads down to the lower riverside ‘beach’ garden.
• The first floor landing has a door to the utility/linen cupboard which is plumbed for a washing machine and houses the hot water tank.
• The kitchen may now ideally benefit from some updating and comprises a range of painted wooden wall and base units with co-ordinating worktops, Zanussi four-ring gas hob with overhead extractor and Zanussi electric oven.
There is a 1½ bowl stainless steel sink unit with drainer, plumbing for washing machine and dishwasher; integral Hotpoint fridge and freezer. Attractive views to the front over neighbouring gardens and beyond. Ideal Logic gas boiler.
Space for a small breakfast table.
• Bedroom 2 is a comfortable double bedroom with a low height storage cupboard with shelving, and views to the front and over the neighbouring
gardens beyond and up towards Rye church.
• A further short flight of stairs leads to the upper mezzanine level where there is access to a boarded loft/storage space.
• The principal bedroom has a range of built-in wardrobes and storage above with bedside cabinets, picture window to the rear offering wonderful views over the riverside garden and River Brede itself, and far reaching views into the
distant countryside.
• Door to en suite shower room with tiled and glazed shower cubicle, WC, bidet, pedestal wash basin, fitted linen/storage cupboard, fully tiled walls and shaver point with light.
• Bedroom 3 is a more compact bedroom with fitted wardrobe and storage cupboards, similar views over the garden, river and beyond.
• The family bathroom comprises a panelled bath with overhead shower attachment, pedestal wash basin, WC, tiled walls, medicine cabinet, and shaver point with light.
Outside
To the front is a shared driveway leading to an area of hardstanding with an additional
off-street parking space and access to the integral single garage.
To the rear and approached from the sitting/dining room is the raised decked terrace with its excellent views and ample space for al fresco dining and entertaining. A set of steps leads down to the lower level of the riverside garden itself which features a paved terrace and is mainly laid to shingle with an octagonal summerhouse offering a further retreat, with lovely views and serving also as a useful storage area for garden furniture.
Beneath the raised terrace and with somewhat limited access is an excellent storeroom, perfect for those who wish to store larger items such as kayaks, canoes, or bicycles; alternatively useful as a workshop.
