"Rare opportunity", a massively overused phrase in UK real estate BUT, this really is a unique, rare and exciting chance to own a piece of history. A medieval family house, and the Hastings home of Sir Quentin Blake between 1972 & 2022.

Having owned a house on the West Hill many years ago, I know this property well. The current owners deserve congratulating for such a sympathetic restoration yet also modernisation. Have lived all across the South East and now split time with family in the Cotswolds as well, but our decade in Hastings remains our fondest and we revisit every year. There has always been a thriving arts and events community, international chess congress, a beach launched fishing fleet using eco-nets, theatre within walking distance, the usual big name stores yet lanes with unique little shops, plenty of choice for dining out or having a tipple, good station for commuting. beautiful nearby towns and villages to visit. Magical place to raise children, retire to the coast or simply have everything on your doorstep on days off from work. This really is a unique opportunity to acquire a slice of history and wonderful lifestyle.

Thank you for your kind words. There really is something about the Old Town isnt there. Its such an historic part of the country. The only places that I think compare are Faversham and The Shambles in York. All the best, Simon

I love your videos so much they are an event! My first run through is at .5 speed slowly taking it all in as your inviting presentation style is so loving and appreciating without the selling tone. Now I am about to watch again at normal speed. Great way to start my very cold day in front of my woodstove avoiding going out to shovel snow again. Thank you from Ontario Canada. My DNA responds with warm feelings from the 900 years of English ancestors I have discovered when I go on these journeys with you. Much appreciated. 🥰

How tragic they painted the wood. We live in a similar age house and yes, it’s very dark, but the black oak is beautiful!

What a mesmerising property, living in history, and legacy. A beautiful location, an enchanting range of unique interiors and features, housing an amazing collection of art. It’s a like the older brother of ‘Kettles Yard’ in Cambridge. Thank you for the brilliant tour Simon. Excellent.

I was wondering why have they painted all the beams on the ground and first floor .. is that true to the medieval period ?

@simonatuniquepropertycompany 6 ай бұрын

No, but I think they were that coulour when they moved in. Thanks for your comments, Simon

@Odo55 6 ай бұрын

This place is like a museum. I wonder why they chose to paint so many of the beams and bricks white. Glad they didn't paint those lovely kitchen cabinets.

@simonatuniquepropertycompany 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for your comments. To be fair I think the beams were already painted white when they moved in, they just restored what they found. Best wishes, Simon

Gorgeous - love the simplicity of the renovation. Looks like part of it exists separately next door to the left from the street? Wonder if that has had the same care taken given the party wall. I actually spent a night in the Piece of Cheese house across the street back in the 80s, a friend of my housemates owned it, she was an interior designer. It used to be a coffin makers? Lovely house and can feel the history in every beam :)

Thank you Simon. Another very enjoyable tour of an incredible house. The owners really are to be commended. The light thru the windows at the back the ‘dining’ area was strongly reminiscent of Vermeer. All the best, I don’t think this house will take long to find its new custodian. And an honour it would be.

I can feel, the atmosphere, the peace, the serenity through the screen. I did once have a cottage from the 1500's that originated as a little Inn named The Eagle', had the same. Once inside you were transported into another realm of existence......so tranquil, peaceful. The building held and cosseted you and the weekends seemed to last days, for sure was a time warp 😁. The owners have a done a wonderful job of restoration and I hope future caretakers take care in maintenance. I have seen too many beautiful historic homes where young people have moved in, ripped the soul out of the house and created a blank heartless void of chrome, glass and industrial metal beams, and tiled floors. Is sacrilage and should not be allowed. If they want ultra modern, they should buy or build an ultra modern space. I reckon the time loop in these buildings is shut off or evaporates once they start ripping out the interior.nso very, very sad, asconce gone, us gone for good.

So much history but I'd hit my head on something every 5 minutes, it feels so cramped. After all that work one wonders why the current occupants no longer want to live there ...

The garden made up of little rooms are very typical of the South Coast and can be explained by noisy gulls. The little rooms are too small for gulls to get airborne from so they don’t get in to wreck it all.
