In the 14th century, Rye was a fortified town when there were four gates built to allow access inside the walls - the Landgate is the only one remaining. Landgate Square is a collection of character cottages surrounding a communal garden with an ancient water pump as its centrepiece. This stunning 16th Century cottage has been sympathetically renovated to an exceptionally high standard and is a very special holiday home in a superb location - 5 minutes walk from Rye Railway Station, close to the wide variety of shops, cafes, bars,restaurants and the local swimming pool, leisure centre and a children's playpark.With a secluded, quiet patio courtyard for alfresco meals it really does "tick all the boxes"!
