KEY FEATURES
SUMMARY
This wonderful property, which has been lovingly renovated by the current owner and is currently run as a successful 5 star rated holiday let, is bursting with character and charm. Not only that, but it is deceptively spacious, offering accommodation that would suit the needs of a number of different buyers including those looking for a permanent home, coastal retreat or investment opportunity. On the ground floor there is a cosy sitting room with wood burner and a spacious open plan kitchen / dining / living room with further wood burner and doors that open out onto the garden. To the first floor, there is a good size modern shower room and double bedroom with extensive built-in storage and on the second floor, a beautiful, airy double bedroom which is a sanctuary away from the world. Outside, the private enclosed south facing courtyard garden houses a timber clad purpose built studio which would make the perfect hideaway for any budding artists, writers or those who simply want to sit and chill. Situated a stones throw from the picturesque harbour, nature reserve and beach at Rye Harbour, and just 2 miles from the historic Cinque Port town of Rye, this cottage is perfectly placed to take full advantage of all the wonderful natural amenities on offer, and for that reason, viewing is highly recommended.
