High Street, Hastings

SUMMARY Easy Let & Sale present this Grade II listed c.17th cottage situated on High Street, Hastings Old Town. The unique property consists of a detached cottage with three bedrooms, reception room with inglenook fireplace, bathroom and kitchen, and approximately 600 sq m of garden.

The property features a 'smugglers window' looking down the High Street. When the property was built in the 17th century the coastline was further inland and the bottom of the High Street featured a sea gate. If a candle was lit in the small window, smugglers coming to shore knew it was safe to store their contraband good away from the customs men. The window remains today and is a reminder of Hasting's colourful past.
