Historic Rye house on picturesque street going up for auction
A mid-terrace house needing refurbishment in a desirable location in Rye is set to go under the auctioneer’s gavel in December.
Three-bedroom 9 Mermaid Street is among 163 lots listed across southern England in the latest auction being held by one of the top five property auctioneers in the UK, Clive Emson Auctioneers.
Offered jointly with Dyer + Hobbis, it is listed with a freehold guide price of £320,000 to £330,000 at the firm’s auction which ends on Thursday 11 December.
Senior Auction Appraiser Chris Milne said: “This house is located on one of Rye's most famous and picturesque streets and overlooks the cobbles and the 12th century Mermaid Inn.
“Mermaid Street has been dubbed one of the prettiest streets in all of England with medieval timber-framed houses and Georgian residences – and it’s certainly one of the most photographed.
“Whitewashed No. 9 is in need of complete refurbishment, however, once enhanced, it would be ideal for owner occupation or investment.”
The property is located a short distance from the high street with its various local retailers, supermarkets, schools and railway station.
