KEY FEATURES
SUMMARY
Designed by Jonathan Dunn Architects and built in 2015, this contemporary, low maintenance, energy efficient one-off home, has been built to maximise the space available and engage with the built environment around it. Encased by the old stone walls of the town, its striking architectural profile, clad in Kebony timber, compliments its setting rather than fights with it. Inside, the clean lines and minimalist interiors offer a stylish modern coastal feel that both stands out and feels appropriate to its surroundings. At ground floor level, the lovely open plan living space that incorporates a sleek kitchen / dining area to one end and lounge area to the other, unfolds with extensive glazing to the rear connecting it to the outside terrace beyond. The landing and three bedrooms on the first floor all have part pitched ceilings which bring height and volume and give a feeling of freshness and airiness. In addition, the cloakroom, main bathroom and en-suite shower room are all of a high specification. This wonderful property also benefits from a walled decked terrace and separate garage with generous storage area, and would be ideal for anyone looking for a welcoming retreat, “lock up and leave” property or second home in the heart of Rye, just a couple of minutes walk from the main shopping area and all the many amenities on offer.

Open Plan Living Space
This spacious triple aspect open plan living area, with its views over the decked terrace and old walls, is most definitely the hub of this home.

Next to the kitchen is the perfect space for a dining table and chairs and beyond this, the room opens up into a lovely sitting area with glazed sliding doors across the back.
