Winchelsea, E Sussex

Description:

Sitting on a quiet lane within the Winchelsea Conservation Area in East Susinteraction is this charming three-bedroom cottage. Wrapped in a façade of Flemish bond red and grey brick with warm terracotta hung tiles, the Grade II-listed cottage is a wonderful example of the Victorian Susinteraction vernacular. 18th-century details continue internally as weathered floorboards, exposed timber beams and original pine joinery characterise the living spaces, while a ragstone walled garden sits to the rear of the house. Winchelsea, perched on the edge of the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, is ideally placed for the delights of the Susinteraction coastline and for rail links to London. Setting the Scene Built in the early 18th century, the cottage sits on Hiham Green, which forms part of the grid system laid out when Winchelsea was founded as a fortified town. Similar in form to the French 'bastide' model, this medieval approach to town planning gives Winchelsea its character today. The town is still structured by the historic street pattern today, with a section of the 15th-century retaining walls still standing. Three of the original town gates also remain, with Strand Gate at the eastern entrance to the town, Pipewell Gate to the north-west, and New Gate to the south. For more information, please see the History section below. The Grand Tour Established edges line the front of the cottage on leafy Hiham Green. Set within a corniced architrave, the white-painted front door opens to the hallway, with a double-aspect living and dining room to the left. Here, the deep tones of the oak floorboards running underfoot are complemented by the whitewashed timber frame. The current owners have arranged a cosy sitting area at the front of the room, where a casement window looks over the idyllic lane outside. A cast iron fireplace is framed by floral motif tiles and a pine surround; a matching pine cabinet sits. Still available at ListedBuy!
