The Ancient

A two floor chapel, circa 1380, which was converted for various utilitarian uses in 1907.

An unusual combination of 14th century monastic and brutal industrial architecture; with four original stone tracery windows on the 1st floor and a height of 8.7 metres from the floor to the apex of the roof. The industrial ground floor is also a lofty space with bold riveted iron beams spanning the ceiling and factory style doors leading to the main large garden with an ancient tree. The East Sussex location offers stunning local beaches. East Sussex TN31
