About this property
A stunning Grade II* listed corner cottage in Rye, beautifully presented with a weather-boarded exterior, sitting in the heart of the town's historic Citadel. Built around 1520, this beautiful Rye cottage still has some lovely original features including exposed beams, a bread oven in the laundry room and an original Tudor turning staircase, and features as the estate agent in the 2014 BBC TV series Mapp and Lucia. Luxuriously appointed throughout, this Rye cottage offers spacious accommodation, including one bathroom and one shower room, and bedrooms with huge comfy beds! The sitting room in this Rye cottage offers sumptuous seating, and is just the place to rest and unwind after a busy day exploring the cobbled streets and historic houses of this Medieval town. Just step outside your Rye cottage and you are only a few minutes' walk from everything that this historic town has to offer. Shops and restaurants, museums and art galleries, and even Rye Castle and St Mary's Church are only a few steps away from this fascinating Rye cottage. A visit to Rye would not be complete without buying fish freshly caught that day, then creating a delicious dish back in this peaceful Rye cottage retreat, before spending the evening planning your days exploring the rest of Sussex and Kent.
The town of Rye in East Sussex boasts a cobbled street, unusual shops, antique emporiums, tea rooms, restaurants and pubs, as well as two weekly markets. Attractions in the area include steam train rides, stately homes, castles and beaches.

The spiral staircase is like climbing a ship's mast, we had to come down backwards and it was impossible to take suitcases upstairs. No heating advice and we had to buy a portable radiator

Cottage has loads of character but you need to be nimble for the staircase!
