A great choice for families, couples or friends, this delightful terraced Georgian house in the heart of Rye has views over pretty roofs to the fields beyond. This historic market town has so much to explore within its well-preserved Medieval cobbled streets, including an array of independent shops and galleries, lovely pubs, cafes and restaurants and all kinds of historic landmarks, from Ypres Tower to Lamb House, the National Trust’s Georgian property. Camber, with its famous stretch of golden sand, is 4.5 miles away, and Rye Nature Reserve is also 4.5 miles, perfect for walking and bird watching. You can also walk the 1.5 miles to Camber Castle, the remains of an artillery fort built by Henry VIII – a striking landmark and worth a visit. Winchelsea is 2.5 miles away, a quaint village with excellent pubs and a beach and – last but definitely not least – a number of vineyards in the local area offer tours and tastings, including Tillingham (5 miles), which produces organic wines and has a farm-to-plate restaurant.
The house is set over three storeys, and on the ground floor you will find a welcoming lounge in which two sofas are comfortably gathered around a smart TV and cosy wood burner. The galley kitchen flows into the sun room – which has a glass roof and chairs for relaxing – and the dining room, where there is a beautiful stripped-wood floor, a wooden mantelpiece and a coal-effect electric fire. Also on this level is a shower room with a WC. Narrow stairs lead to the first floor where there are two pretty bedrooms, a super-king-size (twin on request) and a single, plus a period-style bathroom with a roll-top bath. A further set of narrow stairs leads to the top floor, where you will find two more bedrooms, a double and a single, each with a useful washbasin.
To the rear of the property is a small courtyard with a bistro table and chairs for two to enjoy the fresh Sussex air.
