Pearl´s On Sea

This sale comprises two properties — the main house adorned with a mosaic of shells and a self-contained cabin covered in clambering clematis. In the main house, there are four bedrooms; two on the first floor, one of which has an in-room clawfoot tub, and two on the ground floor, one with en suite, and one with access to a family bathroom. The end-of-garden cabin features two bedrooms and a family bathroom, which is ideal for housing visiting guests, grandparents, or converting to a studio workspace. A charming residence with a wealth of character in the form of exposed beams, alcove doorways, and whitewashed wood, it is a home known for its beatnik spirit, where you'll leave all preconceptions of seaside style at the pick-n-mix pink front door.

Outside, a large decking encases a heated pool and leads to a wood-fired Swedish tub; the gardens, with their part-landscaped, part-rewilded aesthetic, offer the sort of privacy that one escapes to the coast for. Just a ten-minute ramble through country lanes and past a nature reserve reservoir lies the quiet shores of Winchelsea Beach, offering stunning views of the English Channel. Meanwhile, the well-preserved medieval cobbled streets and half-timbered houses of Rye bring the trappings of society in the form of boutiques and cafes. A successful rental property on the Unique Homestays portfolio since 2021, this sale offers an opportunity for buyers to secure an income on the property when not in residence, with contents available by separate negotiation.
