Why they chose this property
We had been escaping to Rye from our busy lives in London for years, purchasing Chesterfield Cottage in 2010. After some extensive renovations to the kitchen and bathroom we have been using it as our home away from home, to relax and recharge our batteries.
There is always something going on in the town and local area, amazing beaches, walks and quiet roads to cycle.
