Location

Situation: The house is situated within the Conservation Area in a period terrace just a short walk from the centre of the very charming Cinque Port town of Rye, renowned for its cobbled streets, medieval fortifications, period architecture and beautiful parish church. Although the town is steeped in history, it also caters for every day modern life and has a comprehensive range of shopping, health and leisure facilities. Rye has also become something of an arts centre with many galleries and local craft shops. There is also an annual Rye Arts and International Jazz Festival and a two-screen Kino cinema complex. The Romney marsh countryside that surrounds Rye is spectacular and with the coast just a stones throw away, there are many good walks and leisure activities to pursue. There are a wide choice of educational opportunities nearby in both the state and public sectors and for transport, the town has local train services to Eastbourne / Brighton and to Ashford, where the high speed connection to London St. Pancras can have you in the capital in 37 minutes.
