Parsonage Barn is situated on the northern edge of Icklesham village which lies on the southern side of the Brede Valley between Rye and Hastings. Rye was once an old fishing port and one of the old Cinque Port Towns but now it is home to art and curiosity shops, cosy pubs, as well as modern boutique hotels and contemporary restaurants. Tenterden is also within reach to the north. Trains are available on the Ashford to Hastings line at Rye or at the smaller stations of Three Oaks and Winchelsea.

The Barn
The barn is constructed of stone and brick under a thatched roof and is believed to have been converted about 40 years ago. The property provides comfortable accommodation the main feature of which is the spacious sitting room with a vaulted ceiling and an inglenook fireplace which includes a large woodburning stove. On the first floor are 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Annexe
The annexe has weatherboard clad elevations under a thatched roof and adjoins the rear elevation of the barn with direct access from the sitting room. Until recently this has been successfully let through AirBnB as a holiday let. The fact that it adjoins the 1066 Country Walk and the easy connection to both Rye and Hastings makes it a great location for a short stay holiday let.

Gardens
The front and rear gardens are mainly laid to lawn with planted borders. In the corner of the front garden is a small natural pond. There is a Car Port with space for 2 cars with access from the lane.

Stable Yard
The stable yard is located in the corner of the land to the side of the barn & annexe. It is approximately 40 years old and now requires some refurbishment. It comprises:
1) Stable Yard
a) 8 stables including 2 corner/foaling boxes, a tack room & small store.
b) Lean-To 1 – providing useful covered storage.
c) Lean-To 2 - used as a shelter for the horses when they are turned out.
2) There is a small storage shed.
3) To the front of the stable yard is the remains of a very old Riding Arena.
4) To the side of the stables is an old swimming pool which is in disrepair.

Land
The land is all pasture and lies to the east of the stable yard and benefits from fantastic views over Brede Valley. The land is divided into grazing paddocks. In the southern boundary, next to the drive is a small pond.
