Historic house in need of complete refurbishment on picturesque East Sussex street sold at auction
An historic Rye house on picturesque street has been sold at auction.
The three-bedroom property at 9 Mermaid Street was sold by Clive Emson Auctioneers jointly with Dyer + Hobbis.
It was sold for £280,000 freehold.
Senior Auction Appraiser Chris Milne said: “I was not surprised to see this whitewashed property acquired – it is located on one of Rye's most famous and picturesque streets and overlooks the cobbles and the 12th century Mermaid Inn.
“Although the house is in need of complete refurbishment, our bidders could see the potential that, once enhanced, it would be ideal for owner occupation or investment.”
