The accommodation is arranged over two floors and provides many original features along with lovely garden views from all aspects.
The ground floor comprises of a brief entrance porch with access to the reception rooms and stairs to the first floor. The main double aspect reception room has a wood burning stove and French doors opening into the conservatory/garden room with a tiled floor and French doors opening out to the garden.
The snug/sitting room has part panelled walls and
an original brick fireplace with a wooden mantle and wood burning stove. A further large reception room is currently used as a games/play room with French doors opening out to the garden.
The kitchen/dining room is a lovely open plan
room with a comprehensive range of fitted units,
complimentary work surfaces, tiled splashbacks, an
AGA with freestanding cooker, butler sink and space for other appliances. The dining area has French doors opening out to the rear garden.
The separate utility room, boot room and shower
room complete the ground floor.
The first floor provides four double bedrooms (one
with an en suite bathroom), a further bedroom/
study and a family bathroom.
Externally further accommodation is available
above the barn styled double garage which has
been converted into two self-contained onebedroom apartments. It is considered that the
two apartments could easily be arranged into one
spacious apartment.

access to the double garage. There is a block of
three sheds in the garden ideal for outside garden
storage and has solar panels above.
The garden and grounds are a particular highlight

lawn with established hedging, well stocked borders and a mature vegetable garden. The pergola covered with climbing plants and a paved terrace under provides a lovely outside entertaining space.
The field to the rear offers delightful views and
further entertaining space. The garden and grounds total approx 3.5 acres (tbv).
Agents Note: Buyers should note that there is a
public footpath passing down the drive and leading through to the field to the rear.

facilities and restuarants. Rye Arts Festival and Rye
International Jazz Festival are held annually. From
