We have lived for many years in Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong. Asia has proved a fascinating destination for many of our travels.
Mrs Moyreen Tilbrook purchased this House in 1967
Why Mrs Moyreen Tilbrook chose Rye
This Grade 2 listed house has been a constant source of interest and delight. We continue to learn about former residents - back to 1680 so far - and to welcome friends and family to a home which we feel privileged to occupy for a short time in its long history. We have much pleasure in inviting you to share this experience with us.
What makes this House unique
A truly medieval environment in the very special town of Rye with its fishing fleet and yachting berths. A home from home with all the comforts. An excellent range of small shops for gifts to suit a vast range of tastes: pottery, paintings, books old and new, leather, antiques of every description, glass, specialist kitchen ware, furniture, clothing, shoes.
