Winchelsea has a long history and is an up and coming area for those seeking peaceful solace. Winchelsea retains its medieval setting on a hill surrounded by largely empty marsh, the original layout of the planned town and the largest collection of medieval wine cellars in the country with the possible exception of Norwich and Southampton.

This particular property will be attractive to buyers seeking to put their own mark of design on the finished property and grounds which is reflected in the starting price. The completion certificate from the planning authority has been given.

The seller welcomes viewing and the property is sold with full vacant possession.
