Mr. Catt’s House is a picture-postcard, Grade II listed cottage dating from the early nineteenth century, featuring white painted weatherboard elevations and sash windows set beneath a slate tiled roof. Inside, the accommodation has been carefully extended and exquisitely decorated to accentuate the period charm, seamlessly balancing its rich character with modern living.

A white picket gate opens onto a pathway leading to the house, whilst the lush gardens wrap around the home. To one side, a traditional cottage garden is planted with lawn, wild flowers and mature hedging, while to the rear a terrace gives way to a meadow style garden overlooking the open fields beyond. A log store and garden store sit discreetly to one side.

The entrance hall leads through to a bright south facing sitting room, where an inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove creates a natural focal point, complemented by exposed floorboards and panelled detailing. The adjoining reception room has views towards to the back garden and offers flexibility as a family room, study or fourth bedroom.

The large triple aspect kitchen, dining and family snug runs the length of the property and features vaulted ceilings with bi-fold doors flooding the kitchen with natural light and connecting it seamlessly with the garden. A second wood burning stove adds warmth and atmosphere. The kitchen itself is well considered, with bespoke cabinetry, hardwood worktops and integrated appliances. The downstairs is completed by a beautifully appointed shower room.

Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged around a central landing. The principal and second bedrooms enjoy far reaching rural views towards the coast, while the third looks out over neighbouring farmland to the rear of the property. A family bathroom completes the floor.

The charm of this quietly positioned period home is endless; offering a considered balance of character, space and countryside living.

Set along a quiet country lane on the edge of Iden, Mr. Catt’s House enjoys an elevated position with far reaching views across the Rother Levels towards the English Channel. Iden is a well regarded village with a strong sense of community; home to a village shop and post office, cricket ground, bowls club and a traditional country pub, all surrounded by open countryside and walking routes that meander down towards the Royal Military Canal. The historic Cinque Port town of Rye lies just two miles to the south, renowned for its cobbled Citadel, medieval fortifications, and its vibrant array of independent shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities. The spectacular dunes and sandy expanses of Camber Sands are a short car journey away.

Rye also offers excellent train connections to London with a journey time of just over an hour including the high-speed Javelin service between Ashford International and St. Pancras, with onward connections to the Continent via Eurostar.

Further comprehensive amenities, including Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets, are readily accessible in the elegant tree-lined town of Tenterden just 9 miles away, and neighbouring Peasmarsh benefits from a large independent Jempson’s superstore.
