While the house shows a little wear in places, its timeless elegance and historic features create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Step off the cobbled street and into a welcoming entrance hall before continuing into the stunning contemporary kitchen. With an Aga that operates during the winter, a range oven and hob for summer and a flagstone floor, this is a beautiful space in which to enjoy breakfast or lunch overlooking Rye and beyond. Here you will also find a microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer and every utensil you could need. For evening meals, the dining room offers a more formal alternative with a table to seat eight and feature fireplace. The drawing room is spacious and inviting, with two large sofas, additional chairs and a feature fireplace. There is a small sunroom in the far corner that makes a peaceful spot in which to relax and look out to Camber, Romney Marsh and further afield.

The first bedroom with double bed has a pretty window seat offering far-reaching views and an en-suite bathroom with shower over bath, WC and basin.

Neighbourhood information

Rye is a 13th century cinque port in East Sussex, host to the River Rother, Romney Marshes and a history dating back before the Norman Conquest. A cobbled town offering an excellent array of unusual shops, antique emporiums, galleries selling local artist paintings and pottery, Rye also has a delightful range of tea rooms, restaurants, pubs and historic inns. There is also a weekly general market on Thursdays, as well as a farmers’ market every Wednesday morning. The town played host to BBC film crews for nine weeks in the summer of 2014, while filming of the TV series Mapp and Lucia took place, which has now been made into a DVD. All coastal scenes were filmed in nearby Camber Sands and bits of filming also took place in Hastings and the Tenterden Town railway station. Walkers and birdwatchers can enjoy a footpath leading across the marshes to Camber Castle built by Henry VIII. Local attractions include miniature or full-size steam train rides, local vineyards, stately homes, castles, gardens and beaches, including the beautiful nearby Camber Sands. Artists and photographers will especially enjoy the scenery; big skies, winding roads, and picturesque villages with ancient inns and tea shops. A truly relaxing and wonderful holiday destination. You will enjoy your own access to the home with no shared access. Located on one of Rye’s famous cobbled streets, this spectacular holiday home is just a few steps away from the wide selection of independent cafes, bars, restaurants and shops. Spend an afternoon wandering the art galleries, discovering antique collectables or sampling some freshly caught seafood. Or, hop in the car for just three miles to reach Camber Sands, where you’ll find water sports facilities, miles of soft golden sand and beautiful dunes. Please Note: Electric vehicle charging is NOT permitted on this property due to regulations and potential liability.
