Rye - In need of refurbishment

A Grade II Listed timber frame period property built between 1556-1560 by Robert Malidad, a Rye fisherman. The property, which has fine features including exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and generous ceiling heights, is now in need of refurbishment. The accommodation is arranged over three levels, as shown on the floor plan. Between 1934-1992, the property was owned by the renowned artists Robert Mackechnie and his wife Margaret Barnard, both students at The Glasgow School of Art, which was a powerful influence for Art Nouveau and later for Modernism; the inspiration can be seen in some of the alterations and additions at No.4 as well as the purpose-built studio.

Littlestone  -  A later addition which is yet to be converted

A former Catholic church lovingly converted with a contemporary design which gives a tremendous sense of space whilst retaining the character and original features of the building, including large arched windows along both sides, Victorian tiled floors and a beautiful roof with exposed trusses. The building is rectangular in shape with mellow brick elevations and a steeply pitched double height roof with gable ends and an attractive Cape Dutch double façade.

To the rear of the building, there is a later addition which is yet to be converted as part of the original planning consent and subject to preference could provide ancillary accommodation or be integrated into the main house.
