Cliff End View is an Arts & Crafts gem of a house, stylishly and stunning renovated, with art, antiques and quirky finds that make every room a delight for the senses. But what really sets it apart, despite the gorgeousness of the interior, is the stunning garden and jaw-dropping views – thanks to its elevated, clifftop location – looking over Pett Level Beach from the rear, and across rolling Sussex countryside from the front.

The original house plus adjoining cottage comfortably accommodates groups of 12 adults, with its 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and multiple dining and relaxation spaces. The grounds and gardens are well-established, with a lush, almost Mediterranean feel, and offer plenty of places to stop, relax and take in the incredible views that this home’s position affords. If you’re up with the lark, take your morning coffee to the end of the garden and enjoy the sun rising over the sea. At the end of the day take a stroll with a glass of wine to watch the sunset over the rolling hills.

Pett Level is just a two hour drive from London, and well served by train stations at Winchelsea, Hastings, or Rye. The house itself sits at the end of a private road, in an elevated cliff top position.

The village itself is small and peaceful, with a couple of country pubs, nestled between busier Rye and Hastings, and lies at the end of a sea defence wall that was built in the 1940’s. The beach here is quieter than those of neighbouring towns, and is dog friendly. At low tide it is possible to see the stumps of ancient trees, part of a fossilised forest dating back to the last Ice Age. Nearby ‘Pett Pools’ are a network of shallow lakes and reedbeds – a bird sanctuary, thanks to the wide range of bird life that they attract.
Camber Sands is just 20 minutes away by car, as are the bustling towns of Rye and Hastings. Much smaller – in fact the smallest town in England – Winchelsea is also worth a visit thanks to its vibrant history.

The Two Sawyers is in Pett village itself, so you don’t need to travel far for a pint! It serves traditional food and and has a large garden. The Ship at Winchelsea is a must visit, with café and restaurant and food hall complete with award-winning butcher. A great place for lunch in the beach pub garden on a sunny day, and to stock up on local produce if you’re planning to make the most of the well-equipped kitchen and dine at home. The Red Pig Food Truck, right on the shore at Pett Level, gathers rave reviews for its delicious beach food, excellent small batch coffee, and homemade cakes.

Rye is something of a foodie destination, thanks in part to the Rye Bay Scallop Festival, which draws visitors to the town in February, but also due its range of excellent independent suppliers and places to eat. You can buy the catch of the day on the harbour, delicious bread from The Lazy Bakery, or local Sussex wine from any number of local vineyards. In the summer you can pick your own produce at Tibbs Farm, and enjoy a trip to the Farm Shop and Café (with views over the Tillingham Valley towards Rye) while you are there. Webbe’s at the Fish Café serves excellent local seafood and now has a cookery school, too. The Globe Inn Marsh (Rye) has a new England seaside vibe and an extensive gin bar. The Ship Inn, and The Standard are both good gastropubs with good atmosphere.
