The charming town of Rye, located in East Sussex, South of England, offers a delightful escape for those seeking a unique blend of history and coastal beauty. This characterful apartment, nestled within the cobbled passageways known as twittens, is an ideal base for exploring the town's independent boutiques, antique shops, and a variety of dining options ranging from cozy pubs to fine dining establishments. Just a short drive away, the expansive sands of Camber Beach provide opportunities for paddling, sandcastle building, and even kite surfing, while the Rye Castle Museum invites visitors to immerse themselves in local culture through its impressive art collection and historical displays.
Upon entering the apartment, guests are greeted by an inviting hallway that leads to a steep staircase, characteristic of the medieval architecture. The first floor features a beautifully designed kitchen that harmoniously blends contemporary appliances with period features, such as exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace. Equipped with an electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher, and fridge, the kitchen also includes a small dining area where guests can enjoy meals while taking in views of the town's rooftops. Additionally, a convenient shower room with a WC is located on this level, enhancing the apartment's functionality.
Ascending to the second floor, visitors will discover a stylish lounge area furnished with comfortable seating and a larger dining table that accommodates six people. A cleverly concealed television adds to the room's charm without detracting from its aesthetic. This level also houses the master bedroom, which features a king-size bed and a delightful window seat overlooking the bustling street below, providing a cozy spot for relaxation and people-watching. The apartment's layout is thoughtfully designed to maximize space and comfort for its guests.
Further up the steep staircase, two additional bedrooms are tucked away in the eaves, comprising a king-size room and a twin room, the latter accessible via the king-size bedroom. Both rooms offer picturesque views of Rye's iconic rooftops and the surrounding countryside. While the apartment does not have outdoor space, its prime location ensures easy access to the beach, local shops, and pubs. Parking is available in a nearby car park, with unloading permitted outside the property, making it a convenient choice for families or groups of up to six seeking a memorable stay in this historic town.
