West Undercliff, Rye, TN31

The cottage itself is truly delightful, with all the character and warmth you would expect while providing the comforts needed for modern living. There is a wonderfully light, bright kitchen / breakfast room with bi-folds which open onto a patio, a cosy sitting room with wood burner, a large conservatory with beach garden beyond, cloakroom, and two double bedrooms, both with en-suites. Not only would it make a super main residence, but the fact that it is situated in a highly desirable tourist area means that it could provide a holiday home for someone looking for a perfect rural retreat. 

This property also benefits from a driveway providing good amounts of off-street parking, a pre-fab garage, and a lovely garden which wraps around the house and provides an oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the world outside. Located at the end of a hidden lane and backing onto grazing land for rescued ponies and donkeys, Willow Cottage offers everything you imagine from a truly rural retreat, and yet is conveniently positioned within easy reach of the town and railway station.

Garden

A private lane leads to Willow Cottage which nestles perfectly in its secluded, peaceful setting at the end of the lane. To the front, there is a pre-fab detached garage with power connected and a pebble driveway providing parking for several vehicles. A gate at the side of the property takes you though to a small garden area where there is an old potting shed and the front door which leads you directly into the kitchen. At the other side of the kitchen, bi-folding doors lead you out to the main garden which wraps round the house on three sides and consists of a quintessentially English patio area, a wild garden and finally a beach garden with a decked terrace and timber shed.
