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.

Black Tile House offers a once in a generation opportunity to acquire a home in the picturesque downland village of Firle.Nestled in the heart of the sought-after village this wonderful Grade II listed home is believed to date back to the late eighteenth century. The property has been lovingly renovated by the current owners under the guidance of Listed Building Control. The owners have embraced modern design to create a contemporary home, whilst being deeply sympathetic to the buildings character.The property is clad in striking black glazed mathematical tiles which were popular in Sussex during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The facade has been beautifully restored during the recent renovations with handmade tiles from Hastings. To the rear we find the modern addition which offers a contemporary side to the property's character, finished externally by the award winning Flintman Company with exquisite knapped flint walls which dazzle in the wet, and an expanse of impressive glazed doors, which open onto the garden.The house sits away from the street allowing each room of the property to look out onto the beautifully presented and thoughtfully planted gardens which wrap around the property.A discrete white painted gate opens to a brick laid pathway that leads under an intended rose clad arbor to the front door.Once inside we find ourselves in the first of many Receptions with views straight through the home onto the rear garden.The walls of the reception room have been finished in a breathable lime wash, and underfoot we find solid wood floors adding warmth to the room. A sash window looks onto the delightful front garden and a stone fireplace provides a focal point of interest.To the side a door opens to the impressive Kitchen Day Room.The stunning bespoke kitchen is by DeVOL with Perrin and Rowe brass taps and appliances from Fisher and Paykel. The Kitchen has been finished in a two tone colour scheme featuring a mottled grey and deep rich blue island, all complemented by white marble worktops. Above we see painstakingly restored exposed beams with solid wood floors below. Double doors open to the front garden which provides a delightful breakfast spot. We also find a modern wood burning stove set into a chimney place within the Kitchen Day Room. A door opens to the Utility Room which offers access to the garden, and internal Critall Glazed doors open to the modern extension.To the rear of the property is an unashamedly modern addition boasting an impressive expanse of glass which slide with ease and open to the garden. A modern wood burning stove and an elevated window seat, which draws you into the garden, provide a cosier aspect to an otherwise light and bright room. The room offers flexible and versatile living accommodation.Within the Living Area we find a Library or Study area featuring bespoke fitted cabinetry and solid wood floors. Throughout most of the ground floor we find under floor heating.Next is the more formal Sitting Room found at the front of the property and enjoying views to two sides over the flourishing garden. The Sitting Room offers a more traditional feel with decorative ceiling cornices and again finished with Bauwerk lime washed walls and solid wood floors. A third wood burning stove set within a stone mantel and hearth, completes the room.The cellar reveals the true age of the property with exposed walls and with a little thought could create a wonderful wine store.Completing the ground floor accommodation is a Cloakroom.To the first floor we find 3 Double Bedrooms two of which accommodate EnSuite Bathrooms by West One Bathrooms.The Principal Bedroom enjoys elevated views to the front over the established garden. The bedroom features Bauwerk breathable lime washed walls and an enviable EnSuite Bathroom. The sumptuous EnSuite by West One Bathrooms features a gorgeous bath and separate shower with rainfall shower head, and a beautifully simplistic basin by Agape, all complimented by luxurious brushed gold fittings.Bedroom 2 much like the principal bedroom enjoys splendid views over the garden and a pretty EnSuite Shower Room. The EnSuite Shower Room comprises a shower with fixed glass screen, and a particularly special basin by Agape complimented by exquisite, brushed gold taps.Bedroom 3 was designed to be a Dressing Room however makes a comfortable double bedroom in its own right, and enjoys delightful views over the rear garden.To the second floor we find excellent storage and a selection of rooms which could be used for a variety of purposes from Bedrooms a Nursery, Home Office or perhaps a Hobby Room.The top floor opens into the first room with double doors opening to a side room with rooftop views over the village. To the other side we find Bedroom 4 which features 3 fitted beds with cleaver storage below. Bedroom 4 leads onto the Bathroom which features a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams.Properties are seldom available in this quintessential Sussex village with only twelve homes believed to be in private ownership. It is understood that this is only the third time Black Tile House has become available for purchase and possibly the first time the property has been publicly marketed.Nestled within the South Downs National Park the extremely desirable village boasts a wealth of charm and character and accommodates a local Primary School, Village Shop and Post Office, the popular Ram Inn Public House, and splendid scenic walks, notably over Firle Beacon and through the local countryside.The property is approached by a pair of electric gates opening onto a gravelled laid driveway providing parking for multiple cars.
