Wonderful world of Winchelsea.
This unusual house was built in 1953 by the High Court Judge Sir Melford Stevenson, famed for unsuccessfully attempting to defend Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged. Plus, he sentenced the notorious Kray twins to 'life' in 1969.
The study is lined with oak panelling which he salvaged from the Old Bailey.
Located at the southern fringe of the tiny, historic, and friendly town of Winchelsea, with far-reaching views over a ha-ha and across National Trust land to the sea, the well-constructed house has been recently updated (in 2024) preserving many of the 1950s features, including an original yellow bathroom.
St Thomas C of E school is 150m away and, possibly more importantly, the local pub is a short 250m stagger.
The garden is just shy of an acre with a lovely croquet lawn. It has peaceful hidden pockets, plus a pavilion and other outbuildings which pre-date the house.
Please be aware that this property is owned by the MD of this firm.
