A beautifully restored thatched barn, this home will leave you in awe of its lofty beams that rise cathedral-like above you. On one side of the enormous and grand living area, floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with light, while on the other side, doors lead out onto the private patio ready to welcome you with outdoor seating, a barbecue and a water feature to make the aura of calm complete. Rainy days are a perfect excuse to tuck yourself away in the lofted reading nook with a warm drink and a good book, while hot summer afternoons call for dips in the owner's pool. In the evenings, cosy up by the wood-burning fireplace before retreating to the mezzanine bedrooms tucked under the eaves for a good night's sleep. Beyond your sunny garden, explore the acres of private grounds and woodlands that surround you, embracing Sussex's many natural wonders. Great Dixter House & Gardens is a fifteen-minute walk, Rye is seventeen minutes by car if you fancy shopping and dining in a medieval town and Hastings is just twenty-five minutes away if you're in the mood for some seaside fun. Or, don your walking shoes and explore the miles of footpaths on your doorstep leading through the Sussex countryside and High Weald AONB.
