The Details
Step into history and luxury at Chequer, a magnificent Georgian townhouse in the heart of Rye’s conservation area, just moments from the town’s cobbled streets, galleries and independent shops. One of the most recognisable houses in Rye, this grand double-fronted home has been lovingly restored over two years by local craftsmen and designers, resulting in a truly remarkable space that celebrates heritage, creativity and comfort. From its sash windows and sweeping staircases to calm, contemporary interiors, every detail tells a story.
Set across four elegant floors, Chequer is designed for memorable group stays. Seven boutique-style bedrooms and six bathrooms offer privacy and space for everyone, while four reception rooms create a variety of inviting settings for socialising. Gather for relaxed breakfasts in the bright kitchen, linger over long dinners in the dining area, or pour a cocktail and unwind in the drawing room as the sun sets over the rooftops. Each room feels beautifully curated yet deeply homely, filled with light, charm and thoughtful touches.
On warm days, throw open the doors to the tiered terraces, where you can sip morning coffee overlooking the rooftops or enjoy alfresco suppers as dusk settles over the nature reserve. And with views stretching all the way to Camber Sands, this is a house that invites you to slow down and take it all in.
Chequer’s location is second to none. Step outside and you’re surrounded by Rye’s buzzing mix of restaurants, pubs and independent boutiques. Stroll to the medieval Ypres Tower, explore the local vineyards, or head to the golden sands of Camber Beach, just a short drive away. After a day’s adventure, return to your private sanctuary in the centre of town and relax in style. Whether you’re hosting a family celebration, a creative retreat or a long-overdue reunion, Chequer offers the perfect blend of grandeur, comfort and coastal magic.
