Heerlijk huisje, maar Highstreet is een racebaan. Omdat je direct vanuit het huisje op straat staat, moet je donders uitkijken, zeker met 2 hondjes. De gemeente moet daar echt iets aan doen!!! Winchelsea is prachtig, en 10 minuutjes van Rye...

Property info

Matchbox is a beautiful listed cottage in the heart of Winchelsea, overlooking the stunning church. The whole cottage has been finished to a high standard. A fully equipped galley kitchen, open plan lounge/diner and separate TV snug. Upstairs you have two king size bedrooms with views towards the church and each with their own bath/shower room. A small decked enclosed courtyard, perfect for a morning coffee or storing bicycles. One well behaved dog allowed for a small fee. We only allow children aged 8 and over due to the narrow, steep staircases. Parking is on the street and usually directly outside the cottage. The property is located on the high street so there may be some road noise at certain times of the day. There is a small, fully fenced outdoor area that is secure for dogs and available for guests to use.

Neighborhood info

Winchelsea is a pretty medieval town with chocolate box cottages and stunning countryside. The village has a local store which serves takeaway coffee and local produce, a pub and the local church. The churchyard is the last resting place of comedian Spike Milligan. There are beautiful 1066 trails only minutes from the property and lovely challenging cycle routes for those bringing bikes.
