Despite its proximity to the wonderful amenities of Rye, within the High Weald National Landscape, Little Florence Farm sits in a peaceful rural setting. A quiet, unmade road forms the approach, with a driveway in front providing space to park several cars. The home’s chestnut-clad silhouette is both traditional and contemporary: it references the surrounding farming traditions while having an abundance of glazing that hints at the brightness within the home. Entry is from the front, via two large grey metal doors beneath a canopy. This opens to the central hallway, where plenty of built-in storage provides space for shoes and coats; poured concrete runs underfoot, and walls are washed in a subtly textured lime wash. At the rear is the long open-plan living space, an exquisite double-height room lit by a combination of garden-facing windows and skylights. The kitchen sits on one side, and has bespoke cabinets with handless doors, granite countertops, twin stainless-steel sinks and an island formed from a reclaimed science workbench. There is a utility room with space for a fridge and white goods. The remainder of the room is versatile, with plenty of space for a large dining table. Off the dining area, concealed and revealed by large sliding doors is a capacious yet intimate sitting room oriented towards a log-burning stove. On the left-hand side of the ground floor is a wonderful study with views over the garden and plenty of built-in bookshelves. Bespoke oak stairs ascend to the first floor, where there are three generous bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, skylights, and timber floorboards. The upstairs bathroom is also grounded with ample natural light and has a freestanding bath and walk-in shower. Separate from the main home is a two-story studio, designed in the same style as the main home. There is a studio space on the ground floor with an adjoining kitchenette and utility room, and upstairs is a well-composed en suite bedroom. Outside a large deck offers access to a sauna, outdoor shower area and cold plunge; it’s the perfect spot for guests or for multigenerational living. The garden that surrounds Little Florence Farm is a sensory, naturalistic space that provides visual interest throughout the year. Wildflowers grow in a dedicated area, and a kitchen garden has been created with raised beds for vegetables and herbs. An idyllic pond sits on one side and is framed by water irises. A substantial decked area runs along one side of the house and is a great space for dining outdoors in dry weather against a backdrop of farmland. In addition, overlooking the lawn, is an outdoor office space with bucolic views of the surrounding farmland. And yours for £1.8 million.                       As always click to emBIGGERate …  |

The Midterms Are Fifty Days Out: Know the Facts and ....
 |
Well, another week and only 50 until the midterm elections and we saw the Preident-for-Now hold a convention for his ego where he offered Americans $5,000 to vote for him … and we saw wingnuts in New York City demand the mayor stay away from the 9/11 remembrance ceremony because he’s Muslim … where we witnessed the people of Ireland take to the streets against Cankles. And what else happened … Oh yeah, for the record, John Fetterman will here-to-fore be known as the first rat in history to climb onto a sinking ship. Facts to remember on November 3rd according to the regime …
If you disagree, Vote Blue. Last month a Florida state grand jury reported that Governor Ron DeSantis's administration improperly diverted $10 million in taxpayer funds from a Medicaid settlement to a charity tied to his wife, First Lady Casey DeSantis but no one charged … Because it happened in Flori-duh.
The US Postmaster General has already announced the ways in which he will block mail-in ballots, so … The minute you get your ballot, fill it out and take it to your nearest drop box, usually near libraries. Do NOT mail your ballot though the US Postal Service. Use a ballot drop box ONLY!!! PS Everyone is talking about how Cankles always votes by mail but no one seems to question how a convicted felon was allowed to vote. Think on that! The midterm elections are more important than ever so don’t sleep through them. Social Security is an earned promise to millions of retires, disabled workers, children and families. The people elected to Congress will determine whether that promise is strengthened, weakened or broken. Vote in EVERY election, especially the 2026 midterms. Remember as you vote that the Republicans in Congress cancelled the last two weeks of September and Congress will not be working. This means, no farm bill, no AI regulations, no affordability agenda, t, no transportation bill, no water resources bill, no college sports bill, no end to this illegal war. Great job, Mike Johnson. This week at Cankles’ so-called GOP Midterm Convention, one of the guest speakers was convicted drug trafficker Ross Ulbricht who founded the Sild Road dark web marketplace which facilitated over $214 million in illegal drug sales. Cankles pardoned this criminal in 2025. If the $5,000 that Cankles has promised to pay every American adult is tied to elections result it is not a cash payment, or dividend or rebate or stimulus, it is a bribe and will cost this country $1.2 trillion dollars. This is blatant proof how corrupt the GOP and Cankles are and just know that, like the tariff rebate or the DOGE stimulus check, you will never see one penny of it. Oh, and …Cankles just admitted to Fox News that the end of the war timeline depends on whether he loses or not; if he wins, he ends it, if he loses he escalates. Please know that if you are told you cannot vote at the polls your legal response must be: “Please give me a provisional ballot with a receipt as required by law.” Know your rights. And remember … this morning you woke up in a country where:
The midterms are less than 6 weeks out. CAST A GODDAMNED BLUE VOTE. Stop this nonsense. The last speaker at the 9/11 Remembrance ceremony was Nicolas Massaroli, who last his father on September 11, 2001, and he said: “My father [was] Michael Massaroli …you do my dad’s legacy and the legacy of all these victims no honor by using this tragedy to spread [anti-Muslim] hate. We have seen a medley of people coming up today, of all races, all religions, all creeds and this tragedy is just that; it’s a tragedy. I’ve had to grow up and spend the last 25 years seeing people use [9/11] to hate on our Muslim brothers and sister, to hate on people who don’t look like them. That’s wrong. That does no honor to the victims here. Please stop.” I have been saying ever since 9/11 that Muslims are not terrorists, terrorists are terrorists. Remember the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995? That was the largest terror attack on American soil until 9/11. The perpetrator of that crime was a white man named Timothy McVeigh and I never heard one single person claim that white men are terrorists. You are not a terrorist because of the color of your skin, or your faith, your age, your gender or sexual orientation or identity. You are a terrorist because you commit an act of terrorism. That’s all. Except this, too …  |
