History and character set the scene for a memorable stay at this charming Grade II-listed, three-bedroom cottage in the heart of pretty Winchelsea. Once believed to have been the former dairy to the neighbouring Mariteau House, the cottage is rich in character and offers a peaceful yet central retreat, ideal for couples, families and friends. It gives you easy access to the village shop, pub, bus stop and local museum (all within 350 metres). Winchelsea itself is a joy to explore, from picturesque streets to colourful gardens. The surrounding countryside is a treat for walkers, cyclists and birdwatchers. Head to Winchelsea Beach (1.5 miles) or explore the sweeping sands and dunes of Camber (7 miles). Charles Palmer Vineyards is a family-run vineyard located just 0.9 miles away. Day trips are easy to plan, with Rye (3 miles), Hastings Old Town (8 miles), Great Dixter House and Gardens (10.5 miles), and Bodiam Castle (12.5 miles).

Step inside and leave your coats and shoes in the welcoming hallway before heading through to the light and spacious lounge. This space features a wood burner, a comfortable sofa, a Smart TV and a smart speaker. Large windows and a door open straight onto the enclosed courtyard garden. Next door, the dining room centres around a generous wooden table, with board games, books and a snug reading nook for quieter moments. The well-equipped kitchen makes self-catering easy, and there's a separate pantry for doing your laundry. A small snug area leads to two bedrooms – one king-size and one double – along with a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. At the end of the hall, a second king-size bedroom has a king-size bed, a Smart TV, and an en-suite shower room. Doors from here open into a light-filled conservatory looking out over the garden.

Outside, the property has attractive front and rear gardens. The walled courtyard is furnished with a bench, table and chairs so you can sip morning coffee or evening drinks in the fresh air. The enclosed rear garden, accessed via the master bedroom conservatory, has a lawn and additional seating. Climbing roses and wisteria add to the cottage's timeless appeal. Off-road parking is subject to availability, with space to unload directly outside.
