Property description & features
LOCATION Ivy Cottage has a south easterly aspect and is situated on an unmade lane in the fishing and yachting village of Rye Harbour, set back from the harbour "front" which consists of a row of picturesque cottages and the William the Conqueror pub and only a short walk from the estuary of the river Rother. Rye Harbour, built for the Excise men and harbour master at Rye to carry out their duties and for the fishermen to land their catches, has buildings which reflect the village's association with the sea, such as the Watch House, the long established Lifeboat Station and Martello Tower, built on the beachline of the time, which formed part of the coastline defences during the Napoleonic Wars. There is also a holiday village alongside the village itself. The Nature Reserve, with Visitor Centre, lies within a triangle of land extending south from Rye past Rye Harbour to the sea, westward to Winchelsea Beach and northwards along the river Brede. Renowned for its fauna and flora and as a haven for shore birds, a large part of the nature reserve is a ''Site of Special Scientific Interest'' (SSSI) - visit for more information. The sea is about half a mile away, approached by a gated road which prevents access by cars. Westward, extensive shingle, grazing land and marsh provide open country walking to Winchelsea. and Camber Sands, one of the best-known beaches on the South Coast, where a variety of activities can be enjoyed including kite wind surfing, surfing, land yachting, horse riding, fishing etc, is about 7 miles by road. Local shopping facilities include general stores, cafe and public house, parish church, gallery and a community hall. At the village itself there are yacht moorings; a small fishing fleet and some commercial shipping. One and a half miles inland is the Ancient Town and Cinque Port of Rye with period citadel, timbered houses, medieval fortifications, steep cobbled ways and weekly farmers' market. Local train services from Rye to Eastbourne and to Ashford International from where there are high speed connections into London St Pancras in 37 minutes.
