At the foot of Winchelsea Beach and within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is Morlais Ridge, an unmade road that borders Rye Harbour Nature Reserve. It is also the setting for The Shell House, a four-bedroom house beautifully reimagined by designer Pearl Lowe in recent years. Outside, an acre of gardens encompasses a two-bedroom cabin, a heated swimming pool and plenty of parking space. The house is well-placed for easy access to Rye, and to the sandy beaches of Camber just beyond. The Tour The house is set back from the lane behind gravel parking areas and a large front terrace, to which a bedroom and the kitchen open. To the left is the main entrance, opening through double doors to a large Victorian-tiled, deVOL-designed boot room and utility which serves as the main entrance. From here, a further set of double doors open to a music room, where a spiral staircase with Roger Oates-carpeted treads twists to the first-floor bedrooms. Beyond a bathroom and guest WC are the two ground-floor bedrooms, one of which is en suite; fixtures here are by Burlington. White-painted wooden floors extend throughout and blend with timber-clad walls and gentle off-white plaster. Each of the ground-level rooms opens up to outside space. The kitchen, breakfast room and rear reception are arranged in a sweeping open plan, with natural light pouring in from many directions including a roof light in the vaulted pitched ceiling. The kitchen is also by deVOL and is arranged around a huge copper-topped island. Light shaker cabinets are wonderfully paired with brass fixtures and a ceramic butler sink. As part of the renovation, the heating system and plumbing have been completely updated, and vintage cast-iron radiators have been added to contrast with the gentle wood aesthetics. The slatted ceiling of the kitchen turns to painted beams in the vaulted reception, and double doors open to the rear decked terrace. The timber cabin within the garden is a superb addition to the house, with two bedrooms arranged around an open-plan kitchen and reception with a wood-burning stove. It offers excellent independent guest accommodation or the option of holiday rental; both houses have been in great demand for the latter over the past year. Outdoor Space The garden of The Shell House is unusually large for the area, extending to around an acre. Borders of mature trees and shrubs around lawns and long-grass meadow sections merge to create a private, intimate setting and a haven for wildlife. Along Morlais Ridge, quiet paths offer tranquil walks through fields of pebbles to arrive at Winchelsea Beach. The Area Winchelsea Beach is a quiet seaside village and shingle beach, superbly positioned for easy access to the many highlights of the East Sussex coastline. Morlais Ridge itself backs onto the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, composed of varying habitats: scrub, woodland and lagoons, and home to thousands of species of native wildlife. A fantastic backyard expanse for walking and cycling routes, or days on the beach. The popular town of Rye is less than three miles away and offers great restaurants the Globe Inn Marsh, The Fig and Standard Inn are particularly notable and there is also an independent cinema alongside a growing number of independent boutiques. The Old Town in Hastings is around 20 minutes by car and is home to the Hastings Contemporary, as well as a wide variety of shops and restaurants. Nearby Pett Level marks the end of the Royal Military Canal, a defensive structure that runs for 28 miles to Hythe in Kent, built in preparation for a possible invasion by Napoleon. The shallow lakes and reed beds of Pett Pools attract an enormous variety of both breeding and over-wintering wildfowl and waterbirds. The Saxon Shore Way footpath (running from Gravesend in Kent to Hastings) is easily accessed and there are spectacular walks along the Jurassic Coast across the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve. Pett Level Beach is also nearby and great for swimming, with a sandy cove which stretches all the way towards Winchelsea and Rye Harbour. There is a wide choice of state and private schools in the area, including Claremont School, Battle Abbey School, Buckswood at Guestling, Eastbourne College, Vinehall at Robertsbridge and Marlborough House in Hawkhurst. Rail connections from Rye are excellent, with branch-line train services to Brighton and Ashford offering high-speed connections to London St Pancras.

Adjoining room, which is ideal for an ensuite bathroom to be created subject to planning. OUTSIDE: This idyllically located character 3 / 4 bedroomed detached farmhouse is set within its own gardens and grounds of circa 26.5 acres. In addition, it also has the added benefit of possessing a large detached single storey brick and block in excess of 2,000 square foot storage barn / garage building, as well as a further smaller old farm building. Historically there was also a large detached old period barn nearer the front side boundary. The property has circa 20 acres of grazing land behind and beyond the property's beautiful 6.5 acres mature main gardens that encompass the house to all sides.FRONT GARDENS: These are arranged as you approach the property along its private tarmacadam driveway and are comprised of lawns, a variety of shrubs, trees and flower borders. SIDE GARDEN: The larger side garden has been arranged to have an orchard area complimented by grass lawns. REAR GARDENS: These have been lovingly established over the years to comprise of specimen trees and numerous shrubs and delightful rose and flower borders, all of which can be enjoyed from the red brick terraces. Beyond the rear gardens mature hedge boundary are its further grazing paddocks which are believed to be in the region of circa 20 acres. DRIVEWAY & OUTBUILDINGS: The property benefits from a long tarmac entrance drive with a number of areas from which can be parked numerous vehicles. This drive goes to and also past the large detached circa in excess of 2,000 square feet garage / storage barn and beyond all the way to the gate which opens to the grazing land. DETACHED LARGE BRICK & BLOCK GARAGE COMPLEX / OLD BARN: This measures in excess of circa 2,000 square feet and in our opinion could lend itself for conversion into either a large single annex dwelling, a number of holiday letting units, a large home office business / workshop, or even a completely new and separate replacement bespoke separate dwelling not necessarily linked to the main existing farm estate subject to necessary consents.Furthermore, we believe the two front lawned / paddocks either side of the main entrance drive may also be suitable for future residential development subject to planning. POND: Also located within the 20 acres of grazing land, is a large pond / small lake which could be enhanced and enlarged to create a fishing water feature subject to planning. In addition, due to the soil being predominantly clay in this area, it is logical to assume that there could be an excellent opportunity to create a larger or even a number of fishing lakes on this land, either for aesthetics, or to attract nature. In addition, as the main grazing land is not classed as AONB or SSI, there could also be potential for future development of these acres to future either residential housing, or even a park home development subject to planning. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the numerous development possibilities the land belonging to this country estate has, the current owners are inclined to place an overage of circa 20% for a term of 50 years upon the associated land.
