Description

Discover the character and charm of this imposing Georgian home nestled in the heart of Rye, surrounded by charming cobbled streets. 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 spacious contemporary kitchen. With a range oven and hob and a flagstone floor, this is a delightful space to enjoy breakfast or lunch while taking in views over 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 a feature fireplace. The drawing room is generously sized and inviting, with two large sofas, additional chairs, and a feature fireplace. A small sunroom in the far corner makes a peaceful spot to relax while looking out towards Camber, Romney Marsh, and beyond.

On the first floor, a cosy seating area with cabinets stocked with books and games provides the perfect retreat for rainy days. The first bedroom, with a double bed, features a pretty window seat offering far-reaching views, along with an en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bath, WC, and basin. The second bedroom, with a king-size bed and en-suite bathroom, benefits from large windows that fill the room with natural light and offer wonderful vistas over Rye and the estuary. A children’s room with two single beds also has an en-suite shower room. On the second floor, another spacious bedroom with a double bed, built-in dressing table, and en-suite shower room provides a quiet escape.

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.
