Located approximately five miles from Rye with its winding cobbled streets, medieval buildings, quirky shops, galleries, pubs and restaurants and 13 miles from Hastings with its new Jerwood Gallery designed by HAT Projects, we have recently added this holiday property to our holiday lets collection. Designed by Tim Bushe in 2011, Boxwood is an upside-down low-energy house surrounded by an ancient woodland. The property has three double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite wet room. There is also a large family bathroom with bath and shower. The focus of the house is a large open-plan living space which makes use of the entire volume of the upper level created by the pitched roof. A spacious kitchen opens to a dining area. In the garden are two adjoining terraces from which to enjoy the woodland.

For additional modern architecture, the house is situated just along the coast from Erich Mendelsohn andSerge Chermayeff’’s restored De La Warr Pavillion in Bexhill, with its expansive arts programme. Derek Jarman’s converted fisherman’s hut and garden and other notable new buildings such as Nord’s Shingle House are to be found at Dungeness.
