This historic terrace cottage dating back to 1795 has pretty, classic features. Located in the heart of Rye, it's just off Mermaid Street, renowned for its picturesque architecture, including medieval timber-framed houses and Georgian residences. Sample the surrounding historic pubs, independent cafes and quirky shops from bookshops to antiques. Meander the maze of cobbled streets and climb the church tower for a high-up view of the Rye rooftops and surrounding Sussex countryside. Days in nature are yours to enjoy at Camber Sands beach (3 miles) with sand dunes and watersports; or Rye Harbour Nature Reserve (4 miles), a haven for bird and plant life.
Admire the charm of this historic, flower-strewn terrace house as you approach on the cobbled street. The inside is just as atmospheric and traditional: the sitting room boasts ceiling beams, a sofa and tub chair. You won't be short of modern amenities, however, as there’s a TV/DVD, CD/radio and an iPod dock for personalised entertainment. Quirky wall art and the bright, oversized rug add extra flair, while there’s a gate leg table with chairs if you want to dine in. The rustic kitchen has light wood units and wall panelling. Steep cottage stairs lead to the first floor, where there’s a double bedroom, a single bedroom and a bathroom with soothing colours, boasting a shower over the bath.
Although this cottage has no private outdoor space, there is so much to explore on your doorstep within Rye that it isn't necessary. Plus, the kitchen door leads to a path which is an ideal place to lock up your bikes.
