Built in 1847, The Old School is a beautiful 4 bedroom Grade II listed country house in the village of Icklesham which was completely renovated to a high standard in 2011. In between the historic towns of Rye and Hastings, the property was originally the village school before being converted to a house in the 1970’s. The accommodation is arranged over 2 floors and consists of an open plan kitchen, dining & living room, laundry room, master bedroom with en-suite shower room, family bathroom and guest bedroom on the ground floor with 2 additional guest bedrooms and a WC on the first floor. Outside, it has a lovely fully enclosed lawned back garden with a summer house and a large patio area. We have 4 bedrooms so can sleep 8 people in beds. We advertise for more (up to 12) as we can accommodate young children and babies in 2 x travel cots and we have 4 x sleeping mats and bags which are suitable for sharing in the bedroom. The upstairs bedrooms have double beds with 2 x platforms which fit under the roof which small children up to around 6 years old can enjoy sleeping in. The master bedroom has a king size bed and is the largest of the bedrooms. The other bedroom downstairs has a single day bed which can be converted into a large double bed if required and there is room for a cot or sleeping bag in this room too.

I've owned the house since 2011 and have spent many wonderful times enjoying the house and the local area. Please contact me if you have any questions at all!

Located in the stunning rural surroundings of the Brede Valley, within easy reach of Rye, Camber & Winchelsea Beach, Hastings and Battle, you can enjoy both country and coastal life at The Old School. There is lots to do for all ages in the area - hiking, cycling, kite-surfing, shopping, eating great food, visiting historic castles, art galleries or public gardens to name a few options.
