About this property

A stunning Grade II* listed corner cottage in Rye, beautifully presented with a weather-boarded exterior, sitting in the heart of the town's historic Citadel. Built around 1520, this beautiful Rye cottage still has some lovely original features including exposed beams, a bread oven in the laundry room and an original Tudor turning staircase, and features as the estate agent in the 2014 BBC TV series Mapp and Lucia. Luxuriously appointed throughout, this Rye cottage offers spacious accommodation, including one bathroom and one shower room, and bedrooms with huge comfy beds! The sitting room in this Rye cottage offers sumptuous seating, and is just the place to rest and unwind after a busy day exploring the cobbled streets and historic houses of this Medieval town. Just step outside your Rye cottage and you are only a few minutes' walk from everything that this historic town has to offer. Shops and restaurants, museums and art galleries, and even Rye Castle and St Mary's Church are only a few steps away from this fascinating Rye cottage. A visit to Rye would not be complete without buying fish freshly caught that day, then creating a delicious dish back in this peaceful Rye cottage retreat, before spending the evening planning your days exploring the rest of Sussex and Kent.

The town of Rye in East Sussex boasts a cobbled street, unusual shops, antique emporiums, tea rooms, restaurants and pubs, as well as two weekly markets. Attractions in the area include steam train rides, stately homes, castles and beaches.

    A lovely holiday at historic Flushing House . Rye is a picturesque town with excellent facilities and interesting places nearby to visit. Good and numerous local restaurants plus the kitchen facilities at the house are impressive.

  • Sharon

    Cottage has loads of character but you need to be nimble for the staircase!

  • Helen

    Owners were very helpful as regards parking. The house was beautifully cool which the dog appreciated - and full of character! The only drawback was my husband (6 ft) found he had to duck to get through the doorways - not a problem for me though! We felt quite superior to the tourists walking by - so many took photos of the property although no-one asked to see inside fortunately. We very much enjoyed the stay.
