About this property

The Highlands – Jacuzzi Bath – Tennis Courts – Iden Near Rye

This large secluded Victorian house sleeps 11 and has breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside towards Rye. Inside the rooms are light and airy. The property has undergone a total restoration and refurbishment. Period features have been lovingly restored and the ambience of the family home maintained.

The house is surrounded by three quarters of an acre of enclosed gardens and in addition there is a fenced, hard tennis court. The south facing brick paved terrace is a gorgeous suntrap with loads of flexible seating. The driveway provides parking for at least four cars.

The Highlands has five bedrooms (1 king size, 1 double, 2 twin rooms and a downstairs room with 3 single beds) and two bathrooms, one family bathroom and a downstairs bathroom with jacuzzi bath and walk in shower.

There is a large dining area that seats 11, perfect for family or friends getting together. The sitting room has an open fire and patio doors on to the terrace and garden. The kitchen is fully equipped. There is a TV, radio, DVD and video player. Outside there is seating and dining space for 11 and a barbeque. Linen and towels are provided. 2 behaved pets allowed (see house rules).

Iden is a pretty and picturesque village with a pub serving food nearby and post office/general stores within a short walk of the house.

The historic town of Rye, one of the Cinque ports, is less than 3 miles away with its charming winding lanes, interesting harbour and the wonderful sandy beaches of Camber Sands beyond. Rye boasts some excellent restaurants, a weekly Farmers market, and a range of local shops including world famous Rye pottery.

The house is well placed, between Hastings (10 miles) Tunbridge Wells (15 miles) and Tenterden (8 miles). The castles of Battle and Bodiam are also within easy reach. Ashford is 15 miles to the north with its International Station for a quick trip to France. The Hythe to Dymchurch Light Steam Railway is also well worth a visit as it winds its way from Dungeness to Hythe all along the coast – take a picnic and stop off on the way!

Girls weekend

Property just as it appears in photos. It has a very homely relaxed feeI and it was fun knocking a tennis ball around. We all loved the area and would definitely book it again.

Big Birthday!

Nice to celebrate in style with all the family. Good location with the required facilities. What more can one say. The open fire was a particular highlight sitting around joking, laughing and all catching up or playing games. Didn't need the TV!
