Hylands Yard, Rye, TN31

A great deal of love, care and attention has been given by the current vendors, not only to creating a stylish blend of modern living and period charm, but also to the layout and special design. Set over three floors, there is a cosy sitting room, kitchen and conservatory which looks out onto an outside atrium area on the ground floor, a double bedroom, walk-in closet and bathroom on the first floor, and an attic room to the second floor which acts as an occasional guest bedroom and studio. The fact that this property is situated in a highly desirable tourist area means that it could also provide a wonderful rural retreat or holiday home for someone looking for a quieter life, or possible commercial opportunity as a holiday let or Air B & B. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate all that this very special cottage has to offer. 

Sitting room

3.71m x 3.58m

The front door opens into a most welcoming sitting room that is open to the kitchen beyond. A period style fireplace with multi-fuel log burner gives a cosy focal point and the beautiful parquet flooring gives the whole space a lovely warm feeling. A bay window to the front looks over the approach to the cottage and the pretty garden beyond.

Kitchen

3.66m x 2.84m

An open doorway from the sitting room leads to the country style painted kitchen, which is both beautiful and functional. There are a range of cupboards both base and wall. Sink unit with drainer and mixer tap. Built-in oven with electric hob and extractor above. Dishwasher, washing machine and upright fridge / freezer. Slate effect tiled floor. Stairs lead up from this area to the first floor and underneath is a useful open storage area and built-in cupboard.

Conservatory

2.26m x 1.8m

This lovely light space, with its tiled floor, underfloor heating and views over the outside atrium, is the perfect place to sit, eat, work or simply relax. A door takes you outside where there is room for pots and statues. A brick built shed for external storage and a gate takes you through to a path that leads past the neighbours back doors to an alleyway which joins with the front path to the cottages.

First floor landing

A staircase with stripped treads and tiled risers leads to a landing which gives access to the bedroom, bathroom and staircase to the attic space. Loft hatch. Exposed floorboards.

Bedroom / walk in closet

3.71m x 3.07m

This good size double bedroom with its large walk-in closet, has views over the pretty garden to the front. Stripped floorboards. NB: The closet was in the past a bathroom and the bathroom next door, a second bedroom. It may be possible to convert these back should anyone wish to.

Bathroom

2.82m x 1.93m

A beautiful generous bathroom with both contemporary and period twists, consisting of: a panelled bath with mixer tap and hand held shower attachment; wash hand basin with storage drawers below, and WC. Room for free standing storage. Two built-in over stairs cupboards provide plenty of additional storage, one housing the combi boiler. Exposed floorboards.

Attic room

3.71m x 2.97m

This useful space is currently used as an occasional guest bedroom/studio / work room, but could be utilised in a number of different ways. A Velux window brings in lots of natural light and gives glorious views over the roof tops towards the windmill. Plenty of eaves storage to both side of the room (unmeasured).

Garden

A gate at the start of the terrace opens onto a paved path which leads to the front door. Opposite the front door, a further gate opens into the delightful garden, which is completely in keeping with the character of the cottage. A grass area with mature planting takes you through to a secret garden where a patio makes a secluded place to sit and relax. An elevated summerhouse covered in clematis is also a tempting retreat from the world.
