Local facilities include The Little Shop convenience store, together with a primary school and public house. For more comprehensive facilities there is the Cinque Port of Rye (3 miles) with train services to Eastbourne and to Ashford International, from where there are high speed connections to London St. Pancras (37 minutes).  

DESCRIPTION Haveli is a beautifully presented attached Grade II listed period cottage, forming one of a pair, presenting brick lower and tile hung first floor elevations set with timber casement windows beneath a pitched tiled roof.
