A breezy stroll from the town of Rye and a ten-minute drive from Camber Sands, this 70s-inspired home has been featured in magazines and on the BBC. The bedrooms are on the first floor, each boasting retro-style murals and vintage furniture. With a private gate leading to the River Rother, this home is well-placed for walks along the water. The garden has more than enough space for alfresco dining, as well as a dedicated lounge area for evening drinks and socialising. While there's plenty of parking, you'll find vineyards, restaurants, shops, and public transport are all within walking distance. Plus, Brighton and London are only a train ride away.

About Rye
One of the most picture-perfect places in the south east, this tiny town is one of our best kept secrets. Its medieval citadel is made up of narrow, cobbled streets and ancient buildings rising high above the marshes.
