Description
The Royal Oak is located in the village and civil parish of Rye Foreign, in the Rother District of East Sussex. The village lies approximately two miles north-west of the historic Cinque Ports citadel town of Rye. The area is well known for its stunning country setting, as well as its wealth of historical attractions including Rye Castle, Mermaid Street, Rye Harbour, Camber Castle and Winchelsea. Also nearby are more modern attractions such as Camber Sands and Rye Watersports. The area is popular all year round with tourists, day trippers, walkers and motorcycle enthusiasts.
The area is serviced by a number of A and B roads which connect Rye Foreign to other neighbouring honeypot towns such as Tenterden, New Romney and Hastings. Mainline rail services are available from nearby Rye on the Marshlink line, providing Southern services to Hastings and Ashford International, with onward services to London.
The Royal Oak itself sits on the A268 Rye Road, a busy arterial road into the main town. This sizeable Grade II listed property is understood to date from the early 19th Century, and comprises a two-storey property with weatherboard elevations, under a hipped slate roof.
