This classic and charming holiday home is a renovation of the stables, once part of the owners’ Grade II listed home. Guests retain privacy as it is set apart with its own driveway, yet you’ll benefit from use of the owners’ outdoor swimming pool in the summer months. Head into the quaint village of Rolvenden, where this property is located, and sample the traditional pubs, see the C.M. Booth Collection of Historic Vehicles and admire the historic Rolvenden Windmill (0.5 miles). You’re not far from popular day trip destinations like Camber Sands (15.5 miles), which offers the chance to try watersports like kitesurfing or relax by the dunes; or Rye (12 miles), a picturesque town with cobbled streets, atmospheric pubs, antique shops and fascinating history.
You’ll immediately notice the charm of this historic property, starting with the ground floor sitting and dining room, which has impressively beamed ceilings and classical style furnishings. The sitting room has comfy, mismatched seating, ornate wall lamps and a pine dresser, plus lots of entertainment from the TV and DVD, music system, radio/docking station and books. There’s a round dining table with cushioned, rustic-chic chairs beside French doors that lead to the garden. Pass through the hallway - which boasts original iron and boarded stall divider, as well as a cupboard with a washing machine - to the contemporary kitchen with the bonus of a Nespresso machine. Finally, the ground floor has a handy WC in a cloakroom. Up the handrail-included stairs, there are beamed bedrooms: a double and a single with an extra bed that is a truckle only suitable for a child. Relax as you choose in the bathroom, which has both a bath and a separate shower, plus more charming ceiling beams and a stable door.
The delightful outdoor space at the rear of the property, accessed via the French doors, has plenty of greenery and one step up to a paved area with an overhead, covered pergola creating a courtyard with garden furniture and a BBQ. There is also an enclosed, gravelled parking area at the front. Visiting in summer? You’ll be welcome to use the outdoor swimming pool in the owner’s garden next door.
