Icklesham, Sussex
Sussex
Historic Country Estate Setting on the 1066 Country Walk Dating back centuries and overflowing with original period charm, this Grade II listed country residence offers an authentic Sussex rural farm cottage holiday experience. Nestled in the tranquil East Sussex countryside in the village of Icklesham, the estate sits directly on the historic 1066 Country Walk pathway—connecting Pevensey to Rye via Battle.
Discover the ancient medieval town of Winchelsea just a five-minute drive away, complete with its quiet shingle beach and historic cellars. A short drive further leads to the fairytale cobblestone streets, timber-framed taverns, and artisan boutiques of Rye. Nature lovers, ramblers, and families will delight in surrounding fruit orchards, rolling pasturelands, and scenic coastal trails across the High Weald.
