Freda Gardham School Site

Once home to the Freda Gardham School it is now known as the Rye Creative Centre and has been re-purposed to provide studios, a gallery and event spaces.

Around 50 new homes can be designed on the site. These homes will be able to cater for the diverse housing needs in Rye. The proposed housing will include 1-bedroom maisonettes, 2-bedroom apartments, and 2, 3, 4, and 5 bedroom houses, with options to suit single people, families, and downsizers alike.

A retail and commercial unit is also planned to face North Road, with flats above, creating a convenient blend of residential and commercial space. Access to the site would be made easier with a new road for both vehicles and pedestrians, while the existing access would remain open for pedestrians.

Each home will come with dedicated off-street parking, and additional unallocated parking bays will be available for visitors, ensuring ample parking without encroaching on nearby streets.
