DESCRIPTION A well-presented, highly individual detached coastal style property, providing stylish, contemporary living accommodation with colour-washed render and part weatherboard cladding external elevations beneath a pitched slate tiled roof. The property is arranged over three levels, as shown on the floor plan with the principal rooms enjoying an estuary view to the front over the boatyards to the River Brede.

FIRST FLOOR The property is approached from the riverside via a flight of steps. The front door opens into a first-floor entrance hall with a storage cupboard, cloakroom and stairs up to the second floor and down to the ground floor. The open plan L-shaped kitchen/ dining/ day room is arranged in two areas with the kitchen overlooking the boat yard and river beyond and the dining/day room area looking back towards Rye town. The triple aspect dining/day room area has oak flooring, a fireplace and down lighting. The kitchen has a tiled floor and an extensive range of modern cabinets including cupboards and drawers beneath granite effect work surfaces with an inset sink unit, an integrated dishwasher and a stainless-steel extractor hood.
Bedrooms 1 and 3 are on the first floor; the master bedroom has an en-suite bath/shower room, adjacent cloakroom and fitted wardrobe and bedroom 3 also has an en-suite bathroom, both with modern fittings.


SECOND FLOOR On the second floor, the well-proportioned living room has oak veneered flooring, a log burner stove and a set of full height bi-folding double-glazed doors on the riverside elevation opening onto the balcony spanning the front of the house to take full advantage of the outlook. There is a landing area with a pair of full height sliding windows giving access to a roof garden and a large skylight with a view of the Ypres Tower. The landing leads to bedroom 2, which has an estuary view, has French doors opening onto the balcony and a skylight with the view of the Ypres Tower. There is an en-suite shower room with modern fittings and a fitted wardrobe.

GROUND FLOOR On the ground floor, there is a rear hall accessed by a staircase from the first-floor hall with an external door leading to the private parking to the rear of the property. Adjoining the hall is a utility room with a double bowl sink and plumbing for a washing machine. Double doors lead from the utility room into an integral garage with an electric up and over door.

Also accessed from the rear hall is a large home office/studio of good height with glazed doors opening onto a small courtyard area and an en suite shower room with a walk-in rain shower, close coupled wc and wall mounted wash basin. The room has its own external entrance to the side of the house so that it can be used independent of or integral to the main house.
