About this apartment rental
A magical place to stay at any time of year, this elegant apartment sits within one wing of a vast Gothic mansion. Built in the early 19th Century, lovers of historical architecture will marvel at the ornate coving, the original fireplace and the stone mullion windows, and will find themselves staring out at a designated Site of Special Historic Interest – the imposing ruins of the 13th Century Franciscan abbey on the estate. Privately owned and with just one other holiday home on the site, this place is like stepping back in time. A deep sense of peace pervades the ancient site, whilst the accommodation provides a sense of quiet luxury.
You enter your first-floor retreat through a courtyard and by climbing the stairs to the terrace, where you can look out across the grounds from double doors leading into your living room and both bedrooms – making it easy to step outside for some fresh air each morning. Inside, the home has been renovated with style and attention to detail, making sure it's modern and comfy without losing any of its period charm. We particularly love the master bedroom's enuite with its stunning agate floor and wall tiles and its luxurious Japanese soaking tub.
And that's not all. As well as the long balcony with its sweeping views, you'll have a private section of the garden, where a dining table and a barbecue mean you can make the most of sunny days. And what could be more of a treat than a long soak in your very own wood-fired hot tub?
Located on the edge of beautiful Winchelsea, a mile from the beach, 2 miles from Historic Rye, and under 2 hours from London. It's just few minutes walk to the nearby pub, farm shop and to the quiet beach at Winchelsea, while the medieval town of Rye – packed with shops and restaurants – is just a seven-minute drive. For more things to do, head to the nature reserve and pebble beach at Rye Harbour, drive to the famous dunes of nearby Camber Sands or take part in one of Winchelsea's 'cellar tours' looking at the ancient undercrofts of the town's oldest buildings. There's even a neighbouring vineyard where you can tour, taste and maybe pick up a few bottles for your stay.
