Property description & features
LOCATION The property occupies a rural location off a narrow lane in rolling countryside overlooking Hog Hill Windmill to the front and enjoying far reaching views to the rear over the surrounding countryside in the Pannel Valley to the sea at Pett Level. The beautiful Ancient Town of Winchelsea, one of the few examples of a bastide town in England based on the grid-iron street plan with wide, regular streets arranged around a giant square and the incomplete cathedral type church of St. Thomas the Martyr, is within one mile. Local facilities include The Little Shop convenience store, together with a primary school and public house. In addition, there is the Windmill Orchard Farm Shop at Icklesham offering locally sourced food. For more comprehensive facilities there is the Ancient Town and Cinque Port of Rye (5 miles), also renowned for its historical associations, medieval fortifications and fine period architecture. The town has a range of shopping facilities and an active local community, with the arts being strongly represented. Rye Arts Festival and Rye International Jazz Festival are both held annually. From Rye there are train services to Eastbourne and to Ashford International with high connections to London St. Pancras (37 minutes) and from there to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam. Sporting facilities in the area include golf at Rye, Cooden and Hastings, sailing on the south coast and many fine countryside and coastal walks from nearby the property.

Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
