4 Bed Detached House For Sale Rye Road, Hastings, TN35

The house itself, thought to originally be part of the grand Fairlight Hall Estate, is truly charming, the facade of which gives no indication of what lies inside. From the outside, it is every inch a period stone cottage which would not look out of place in the Welsh countryside, but inside, it is every bit a modernist home, exuding the warmth, texture and authenticity of the artists that have called this beautiful place home for more than 5 decades. While the interior retains much of its mid-Century character and may require some updating, it is still very comfortable. Having said that, its unique location and large plot offers huge potential, subject of course to the necessary permissions. There is scope here to either update the house as it stands, extend the property or rebuild to create a bespoke home that will take full advantage of the unrivalled views on offer.

Outside, the gardens, which are mostly south east facing, are no less impressive. Having been lovingly tended over many years, they form an integral part of the overall experience of this special home, which also benefits from a large detached barn, smaller outbuilding and “in and out” driveway.

Tucked out of sight in an elevated position towards the end of an unmade track, this beautiful coastal property may not be the easiest to get to, but it’s most definitely worth the effort if you do.
