Eclectic Residence

Rye, East Sussex

Nestled in the historic town of Rye, East Sussex, the Eclectic Residence is a charming retreat that seamlessly blends its 275-year history with modern luxuries. This timber-framed, black-clad building, originally a public house dating back to the 1700s, has been thoughtfully transformed into a vibrant haven. The interior showcases a boho-luxe style, characterized by an explosion of color and texture that enlivens every room, while original features such as twisted stairs, rustic beams, and original floorboards pay homage to its storied past. The residence accommodates up to eight guests across four spacious king-sized bedrooms, each adorned with eclectic furnishings from renowned brands like Anthropologie and House of Hackney, alongside three luxurious bathrooms that feature a blend of vintage charm and modern amenities.

The heart of the home lies in its lower ground floor, where a light-filled kitchen awaits, equipped with a range cooker, large fridge freezer, and an Italian stove top espresso maker, making it a culinary delight for guests. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room—once the pub scullery—offers a captivating ambiance with stylish seating for eight, complemented by a walk-in pantry and quirky designer tableware. The ground floor sitting room, adorned with colorful velvet sofas, encourages relaxation and connection with loved ones, providing a selection of games that invite guests to engage without the distraction of a television. The upper floors house unique retreats, with the top-floor king-sized bedroom featuring an ensuite shower room and a family bathroom complete with a slipper bath for added indulgence.

Outside, the Eclectic Residence boasts a stunning south-facing Mediterranean-style garden, designed as a private oasis for guests to unwind. With festoon lights, ample seating, and lush greenery, the garden serves as a sun trap ideal for al fresco gatherings or peaceful evenings under the stars. This outdoor space enhances the overall experience, allowing guests to enjoy the tranquility of nature while being just steps away from the vibrant life of Rye. The residence’s thoughtful design caters to modern sensibilities, ensuring that visitors can enjoy the comforts of contemporary living while being enveloped in the charm of a boutique-hotel atmosphere.

Perfectly situated in the heart of Rye, the Eclectic Residence offers easy access to the town's famous cobbled streets and historic sites, making it a quintessential holiday haven. Guests can explore the rich tapestry of medieval architecture and vibrant local life, with quaint boutiques and inviting pubs just a short stroll away.
