Hidden away along a quiet lane on the outskirts of the medieval town of Rye, sits New England, a quintessentially English white clapboard cottage. Inside, it's a treasure trove of quirky artifacts and cosy corners, offering a warm and welcoming retreat.
The light-filled, open-plan living space features large sash windows and doors that look out over the beautiful garden, making it an ideal setting for family gatherings and entertaining friends around the wood burning fire. For quieter moments, two additional reception rooms provide comfortable spots for movie nights and family games. Three large, bright double bedrooms upstairs boast lovely views of the expansive garden, rolling fields and countryside lane.
Outside, the classically landscaped garden is a romantic haven, abundant with flowering plants, fragrant rose bushes and mature fruit trees. With numerous informal seating areas, this is an idyllic setting in all seasons for outdoor dining, relaxation, and for children to discover nature.
New England is just a 10-minute walk into the medieval town and cobbled streets of Rye, home to a mix of independent boutiques, delightful cafés and restaurants, historical castles and towers, and famous jolly pubs full of smugglers' tunnels, and pirates tales and secrets.
