'The coastal location is unrivalled - with garden gates opening directly onto the grassy dunes of Camber Sands.'

This fantastically inviting four-bedroom house occupies a superlative coastal location, with the dunes and wide sandy beaches at Camber Sands directly accessible from the private south-facing gardens. Subject to an extensive renovation, the beautifully proportioned living space spans an open-plan lateral layout across 1,500 sqft, with walls of glazing and skylights optimizing the exceptional coastal light. The popular town of Rye and its train station are a ten-minute drive away, providing a direct route to central London in just over one hour.

The primary entrance is positioned at the front of the house, with a private driveway providing off-street parking for multiple vehicles. The interior follows a monochromatic theme; an exercise in soothing greys and shades of white, with reclaimed materials creating a wonderful sense of craft to the internal fabric. Exposed painted brickwork, timber-clad white walls and white-painted floorboards underfoot, create a light, calm aesthetic, completely in-keeping with the coastal vernacular.

A wall of glazing across the primary living space ensures constant communication with the garden, with three sets of French windows encouraging a wonderful flow between the interior and exterior spaces. The adjoining open-plan kitchen is custom-built, with hand-crafted work stations and cabinetry.

Adapting effortlessly to the changing seasons, the house is wonderfully bright and breezy in summer; doors and windows are thrown open and the house spills onto the terrace and garden. In winter months the space converts to a welcoming retreat, with a log-burner emanating warmth through the living rooms.

The four bedrooms are generously proportioned spaces, each with a good provision of storage. The two bathrooms have been beautifully finished with decorative enamel wall tiling and ornate reclaimed fixtures and fittings.

The expansive south-facing decked terrace provides exceptional panoramic views. Orientated towards the late afternoon sun and drenched in golden light in the later hours, it makes for a perfect pavilion for summer lunches or an early-evening sundowner. The garden, predominantly laid to lawn, also houses a caravan with additional sleeping space for guests. Gates at the foot of the lawn lead directly onto the dunes.

Beach House is just moments’ from the walking routes through the wide sandy beaches and dunes of Camber Sands. The historic town of Rye with its wide range of shops, pubs, restaurants and train station, is approximately ten minutes’ drive away, with services from Rye to London St Pancras taking approximately one hour. Ashford International is approximately 20 miles north, providing links to the continent and London, via the high-speed line through.

The popular towns of Hastings and Tenterden are easily accessible. Dungeness and the beaches at Winchelsea and Pett are a short drive away.
