Orchard House

This unique and spacious family property has far-reaching countryside views all the way to the sea. The property would be ideal for family holidays or groups, boasting space inside and out, with garden areas for sitting, dining and children’s play. The slightly up-side-down house is located at the top of Rye, with a footpath winding its way down to the centre (1.2 miles). It offers the perfect base for those wanting to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings or for the more adventurous wishing to explore the Sussex and Kent countryside as well as the golden sands at Camber. For nature lovers head to the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve (3.5 miles) where you can walk and cycle. Enjoy a stroll around the ancient, cobbled streets in Rye with its many restaurants and cafes, and independent and antique shops. There are several vineyards locally offering tours and tastings of their award wining brews.

On entering the property, you will be drawn into the spacious open-plan kitchen dining area which is perfect for family gatherings. There are bi folding and triple sliding doors to the garden and full height floor to ceiling windows, giving this room a sense of being outside. The dining room has a dining table with seating for eight and there are toys and games to keep everyone amused. The open-plan kitchen is fully fitted with a central island and breakfast bar which is fully equipped for preparing family meals. There is a utility room and a shower room on the ground floor. On the mezzanine ground floor there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The bathroom has a bath with a hand-held shower attachment. The first bedroom has a king size bed with French doors to the garden, the second bedroom has a single and the third room has a single bed, which is more suited to children and the fourth is a twin. On the first floor you can enjoy the beautiful views from the lounge which has an internal Juliette balcony. This large room is split level and has two seating areas with a Smart TV. Both areas have comfy seating and there is a balcony with a bistro table and chairs, perfect for watching the sun go down. On the second floor you will find the master bedroom which has a super king-size bed, and an en-suite shower room.

The outside area has lots to offer with views from the terrace which has separate seating and dining areas with a charcoal BBQ and sunshade.
