This most individual detached unlisted property, which has been run as both a successful Air BnB and long term let, offers 2/3 bedroom / 2 bathroom accommodation that would suit the needs of a number of different buyers including those looking for a permanent home, coastal retreat, investment opportunity or project, as there is definitely the potential to extend, reconfigure or even rebuild to put your own stamp on it if desired (subject of course to the necessary consents).
Currently the ground floor accommodation, which incorporates the original footprint of the property, consists of a cosy sitting room with fireplace, elegant dining room, open plan kitchen / breakfast room, large sun room, generous shower room and two bedrooms, one of which gives access to the floor above, where the stunning space, presently divided into a principal bedroom with luxury en-suite bathroom, has been designed to capitalise on the location, taking full advantage of the southerly aspect, natural light and spectacular views on offer.
Outside to the front, a short driveway and garage provide off-street parking which can be something of a rarity in the village. To the rear, the private, enclosed, deceptively large south east facing garden houses a useful timber outbuilding which could make the perfect home office, creative studio, gym or even holiday let, as there is a separate access at the back of the garden. Here, gates open on to the public car park behind and offer the opportunity for further vehicular access, including the ultimate coastal lifestyle accessory - a boat. After all, this property is only a stones throw from the picturesque harbour, nature reserve and beach, and just 2 miles from the historic Cinque Port town of Rye.

This cosy room has a period feel and is the perfect place for curling up on a cold winter's evening. French doors open into the sun room beyond and link these two very different spaces. NB: We are advised that the wood burner is not connected at present, but that it would be possible to have the chimney flue lined. Any such works should be carried out and tested by a specialist.

At present, this amazing space, with its large Velux windows and balcony is set up as the principal bedroom, but it would be perfectly possible to use this as the main living space.

Outside
To the front of the property is a concrete hard standing and an off-street parking space. To one side of the cottage is the attached garage which has electric roller doors to both ends and can therefore be accessed from the front or rear. A gate at the other side of the house leads through to a small enclosed area which has a brick outhouse with WC, which could be turned into an outside shower for washing off those sandy feet and paws from the beach. A further gate takes you through to a hidden gem of a garden that is deceptively large. There is a further brick store by the house and a timber outbuilding at the back of the garden, currently used as a store, that could potentially serve a number of different purposes including as a home office, studio, gym or even holiday let. To the side of this is another garden area where there is a hard standing for a boat and gates that open into the public car park behind.
