Cool in the summer, cosy in the winter, this is a modern thatch. Constructed in 1998 this unique property is a fusion of contemporary and period design. Light and bright with full ceiling height, open plan living and breathtaking panoramic vistas overlooking woods, orchards, fields, the Brede Valley AONB and beyond.
Extensively improved and upgraded by the current owners, the property enjoys newly installed bespoke hardwood double glazed windows and doors in 2021 and a new thatch also in 2021.
At the heart of the house is a modern open plan kitchen/diner arranged around a central island and warmed by an Everhot stove. This exceptional home is tucked away in a tranquil setting along a no-through road within just five miles of Rye with its mainline station high speed connections to London via Ashford and only 2 miles from the sea at Winchelsea Beach.
Vendors viewpoint - The inside story.
As I sit at my desk I see cloud shadows drifting across the hillside on the opposite side of the Brede valley along the Udimore ridge, a distant vehicle wending its way down Float lane over a mile away, visions of Postman Pat such is the landscape of this gently rolling countryside.
When early morning mists fill the valley an imaginary estuary manifests with treetops on the ridge in the distance breaking through the top of the cloud as in a Japanese watercolor.
And at night the Ancient town of Rye twinkles a thousand stars.
This is Little Woodberrie, a place that allows you to dream.
We have lightened and brightened Little Woodberrie during our 10 year ownership, given her a modern interior and a new roof, windows and doors. It is a great place for entertaining and the house flows effortlessly into the beautiful gardens where there are plenty of seating areas to enjoy company or solitude as you wish. The modern charm of Little Woodberrie always makes us smile and she will always stay in our hearts but now she waits to embrace a new owner to create their own memories.
