Picture perfect property with pool, providing the perfect escape in rural Sussex

Filled with colour and an abundance of comforts, Tanhouse is a cosy self-catering escape for families looking to hide from the rest of the world, leaving only to explore the delights of Rye and the surrounding sprawling countryside. Set in an area of outstanding beauty the coastline is a mere 15 minutes away - sand dunes and refreshing dips in the sea await. Back home, this unique picture perfect house exudes a wonderful free-spirited air which welcomes deep rest; whether sunbathing by the pool or thumbing a paperback from the library.

Inside
An eclectic mix of upcycled pieces and modern design, prodigious original art, and authenticity intertwine inside this homely self-catering country house, showcasing the owners’ life as an interior designer and mountaineer. Reading enthusiasts will be in their element at Tanhouse with over 1,000 books lining the shelves in the library. The living spaces and garden room promises a chance to escape to faraway lands over freshly brewed coffee on quiet mornings. Come night, sink into the comfortable sofas in front of a roaring log fire whilst watching the horses play in the adjacent field or sit on the veranda and watch the sun set whilst enjoying your favourite tipple.

Outside
With walks straight from the door, Tanhouse is a haven for ramblers on their family holiday to East Sussex, saunter to the coast, or hike over the cliffs to Hastings. Back at home, meander through the garden to the heated pool, where the lion’s share of summer days are sure to be spent evolving from morning dips, to waterside picnics, to sundowners. A pond hidden in the orchard makes a relaxing base to contemplate life in between picking apples for crumbles, while an al fresco dining area ensure the whole family are catered for.
