Ockman House in Rye is set down a cobbled lane with enviable views across the Romney Marsh. Being in the heart of this historic town offers the most idyllic escape into one of Englands most beautiful towns. It has been lovingly restored and renovated, bringing it into the 21st Century. This spacious property makes it the most perfect place to base yourself for a family or friends get together.
