Peacefully situated and enjoying splendid views over local farmland, this spacious detached house is set back from the quiet village road. It has been skilfully refurbished to a good standard, and makes an ideal holiday destination for two families or one extended family. Pett is a charming village, with a butchers’ / shop (open Monday to Saturday), a tea room directly opposite Holly Cottage, and two pubs serving a variety of local and guest ales as well as excellent food.

The sandy beach and dunes at Camber are a short drive away. Also nearby are the picturesque village of Winchelsea and the medieval town of Rye with its many antique shops, tea rooms, historic inns, fine restaurants, and 12th-century tower. Here there is also a museum housing a number of relics from Rye’s past and a lovely art gallery that houses temporary exhibitions by local artists as well as a small permanent collection of works by artists associated with Rye.
