No Chain

A charming Grade II Listed thatched cottage retaining a wealth of period features and with heated swimming pool, garage with studio above, garden and off road parking. All within an extremely desirable village location.

The Old Thatch is located on the outskirts of the much favoured village of Peasmarsh. Peasmarsh is a village located in the county of East Sussex. It's situated near the town of Rye and is part of the civil parish of Peasmarsh. The village has a rural charm with picturesque countryside surroundings and is known for its quaint cottages, historic buildings, and peaceful atmosphere.
One notable feature of Peasmarsh is its parish church, St. Peter and St. Paul, which dates back to the 13th century and showcases beautiful architecture and stained glass windows.
Peasmarsh is also home to a variety of amenities and facilities, including a village hall, primary school, and local shops and pubs including Jempsons supermarket and Tillingham vineyard hotel and restaurant. Its proximity to the coast makes it an attractive destination for visitors seeking a tranquil retreat in the English countryside, while still being within reach of coastal attractions and activities.
The village has a strong sense of community, with residents actively participating in local events and initiatives. It offers a peaceful and idyllic lifestyle for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city living while enjoying the natural beauty of the Sussex countryside.

The Ancient Town and Cinque Port of Rye with wider facilities are only 4.4 miles away including a train station with connections to Eastbourne and Ashford International. The train services from Ashford International station provide Eurostar services to the Continent and high speed trains to London St. Pancras in just 37 mins.

Old Thatch

This is an extremely fine example of a Grade II Listed thatched cottage, originally built in the 16th Century with later 17th Century additions. At some point in it’s history it was owned by a skilled carpenter, remnants of which can be appreciated in the wood panelling/dining room (affectionately known as the carpenters room). The property is constructed of part brick and part weatherboard with timber frame plaster infill gable ends and feature catslide roof to the rear (where the kitchen is located). The thatch was renewed in 2022 and the property has been much loved and restored over the years retaining many of the original features including inglenook fireplaces, quarry tiles and beams. Alongside the history, modern conveniences include gas central heating, secondary glazing, fibre optic wifi and USB charge points.
