Stunning, stylish, converted 1700s pub

The Old Stout House reflects the ancient character of Rye town but is interior designed with a traditional meets contemporary twist. With furnishings from House of Hackney, Anthropologie and Abigail Ahern (to mention a few) the house is perfect for couples, families and friend groups. 3 stunning modern bathrooms and a mediterranean, south-facing garden with festoon lights for after dark, post-exploration, relaxing. Children welcome, but take care with the steep, original stairs. The space The Old Stout House was built as a pub in the 1700s so expect steep, twisting stairs, low beams in some rooms, wonky walls, sloping (original oak) floorboards and oodles of character. Every room is furnished in a glorious Georgian palette of colours with layers of pattern, texture and tone plus quirky finds and antiques everywhere. There is wood panelling in the sitting room, exposed beams in the top floor and lower ground floor rooms (which would have been the scullery, pub kitchen and beer cellar - still accessible, and with the baker's oven intact, but too low ceilinged for modern use) and original fireplaces aplenty. Unlike Georgian times, however, The Old Stout House now has gas central heating (with large, beaten gold, old school radiators in every room), double glazed multi-pane windows and fully insulated walls behind the beautiful black weatherboarded exterior. All the bedrooms are generous doubles, each with their own additional chairs/sofa for when you want a quiet moment. The bed linen is beautiful (in quality and design) as are the sheets and mattresses (memory foam on every bed) and there are two full bathrooms with shower, roll top bath and loo plus an ensuite shower room to Bedroom 4 and a cloakroom on the lower ground. The kitchen is very well equipped, whether for making a full Sunday roast for 8, a surprise birthday cake or mixing cocktails. The tableware is plentiful and lends itself to stylish breakfasts (maybe on the large garden table if it's nice) as well as feasts. There's a full height fridge freezer and a large walk-in pantry to store food (and more). I also own another listing in Camber called Cloud Cabin and am an Air BnB Superhost. Any questions do please get in touch I am very responsive. Guest access All of the house and garden is just for your use Other things to note 1700s houses have steep, windy and uneven stairs. Although there are strong handrails I would not advise walking up and down in high heels.
