Property code: OC-RH1174

In its prime location close to the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve and its shingle beach, this quaint seaside property, best suited to small families and couples, provides plenty of room inside to socialise or relax alone as well as ample sheltered and unsheltered outdoor space. You will find a shop and a pub in the immediate vicinity (0.2 miles) as well as many more options for shopping and eating in historic Rye 2 miles away. Rye Harbour Nature Reserve (with Discovery Centre and cafe) with its outstanding array of bird species is 0.4 miles from the front door and beautiful Camber Sands is 6.5 miles away. For a historic day out you can visit Battle to see the site of the Battle of 1066 13 miles down the coast, or you can visit the Aspinall Foundation’s famous conservation centre and safari park at Port Lympne (21 miles).

The sitting room is cosy and inviting with a wood burner and the open plan kitchen/dining room, decorated in a rustic and eclectic manner, provides ample space for entertaining. There is also another seating area in this open plan area, with space for 4 around the second wood burner and French doors leading out into the courtyard. The bedrooms are split over two floors, with the first bedroom and the bathroom up the first flight of steps, and the second bedroom on the top floor. All rooms are light and airy.

The courtyard is enclosed and has garden furniture as well as a bench seat. There is also a small summer house beyond the paved courtyard area which has bench seating and is stocked with maps of the local area and a pair of binoculars for spotting those local birds. It is ideal for a little ‘me-time’ away from the main house.

A very comfortable, immaculate cottage, decorated with great style. Easy access into Rye, with the bonus of being able to park directly outside and with the benefit of fantastic walks on your doorstep.

The cottage is an excellent location for Rye Nature Reserve and a very short car or bus ride away from Rye old town. The decor is cosy and interesting, with everything you need in the well stocked kitchen. Two wood burning stoves and central heating kept us super warm despite it being winter. A shop, pub and small cafe are a short walk away if you Read moredidnt feel like going too far. Great house and would recommend. Hide
