To the west is the historic town of Hastings with its seafront and promenade whilst inland are the towns of Battle with its Abbey and Tenterden with its tree lined High Street and green swards. Sporting facilities in the area include golf at Rye, Cooden and Hastings, sailing on the south coast and many fine countryside and coastal walks. * On the upper level, the principal living space is open plan and comprises a kitchen, breakfast room and living room with a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber framing, wood floorboards, exposed natural brickwork to one wall and glazed double doors opening onto a balcony 16' x 6'3.

Internally, the property has interesting features including exposed brick walls and timber framing, vaulted ceilings and natural wood flooring.
