If you're looking for an impressive property for a group holiday in Sussex, this Grade II listed Georgian property won't disappoint. Located in Icklesham within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and just 3.5 miles from the shingle beach at Winchelsea, this charming accommodation is perfect for a relaxing getaway. Once a vicarage, it's spread over three floors and has room for up to 10 people and one dog – ideal for a big family gathering, a school reunion or a holiday among friends.
This brick house has a beautiful brick facade with climbing plants and attractive white casing around the front door. Inside, your party can spread out over five bedrooms, a games room, a huge kitchen complete with a gas Aga and an open-plan lounge/diner. There's plenty of outside space too, with a lawn at the front and a large garden to the rear with a terrace and summer house. On warm evenings, cook up a feast for everybody on the BBQ and enjoy it in the fresh air.
Icklesham is a scenic village with two welcoming pubs and its very own windmill. There's plenty to do in the surrounding area, including taking long walks through rolling hills and past the sandstone outcrops and scattered farmsteads of the High Weald. The historical port town of Rye (5 miles) has independent shops and plenty of good restaurants – make sure you visit the iconic Mermaid Street. Hastings (7.5 miles) is a wonderful option for a day out. Look around the antique shops, ride up to the cliffs on the funicular railway, then enjoy a pack of salty chips on the seafront.
