This magical house, lit by candlelight, along with its secret garden filled with giant plants, is an experience like no other. Come and step into the pages of a Grimm’s fairy-tale – you’ll be amazed.
No need to book, £5 entry on the door.
11am - 5pm. Last entry 4.45pm.
And, if you can’t make it today, we’re open tomorrow as well.

For Sale: Stunning 1930s counter-top perpetual calendar of good size, with a stepped plinth base and ‘30s streamlining. The day, date and month are are printed on linen which wind on three internally mounted rollers, each set behind its own glazed window. The rollers are operated by the k***s located on the side. It is in excellent working order, as it has been completely overhauled and fully restored, and the wooden cabinetry has its original stained finish and glazing. The linen is in very good clean condition, and the rollers turn well.

For Sale: Victorian Country House Bread Bin.
A rare Victorian steel bread bin with its original paint and in great condition - and of particularly large size. The rectangular bin has two bands of perforated air holes to its base and also on its lid, a handle on the lid and twin handles either side. It is painted with its original marquetry cross-banding and has its original “BREAD” typography. All-in-all it’s a winner, and really rare to find these days.

Open today - lots of new vintage stock, plants - including these delicious bonsai trees - and much gardeny gloriousness. Everything is for sale, so do DM for prices.

Tudor House Open Today!…and tomorrow, to coincide with Hastings’ Jack In The Green procession.
Out comes the green face-paint, woodland folk, giants, wicker-men, antler headdresses, ravens and pre-Raphaelite tresses of hair entwined with flowers and green leaves – and Jack: part man, part bush, and accompanied by his equally leafy escorts, the Bogies, and Black Sal, his be-flowered consort. Hastings loves dressing up, and this May bank holiday procession accompanied by drums and violins puts on an extraordinary pagan spectacle. The four-day event, steeped in folklore, celebrates the coming of summer and attracts Morris dancers from all over the country, culminating in a ceremony called the slaying of the Jack – so to release the spirit of the summer.

We’ve got everything for that long hot soak by candle light. Tap the pic for links to our website.

Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three men in a tub,
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick-maker,
They’ve all gone off to sea.
We have everything for your tub: bath and body brushes; pumice and soap dishes; candles and soap; and we even have the salvation of sea. Shop online here or get yourself to Hastings this Easter for a visit to us, the beach, the white horses and sea!

Yours to buy! We have only a handful left of these elegant Edwardian folding chairs, which were purchased some years back directly from the church hall in Winchelsea, East Sussex. The ones left have been reduced, as they have a few minor imperfections.

Let’s see if this escapes Instagram’s AI bots botty spotting! Our last post was banned, that’s until I put some carefully placed wordage over the over the offending bum crack. Go to our feed, and see previous post.
Our new window displays, with a nod to Damien Hirst and the dark theatre of Victorian anatomy. Both of these stunning antique anatomical figures are for sale. For more info on the lower torso, tap the image. See previous post for info on upper figure.

A revisit of one of our windows…

Yours to buy! A good sized vintage country house pine plate draining rack which can either be surface stood or wall mounted. Beautifully constructed, it is fitted with full-length plate dividing spindles that pass through both sections. Saucepans, bowls, cups and mugs can be put to drain upside down on its top shelf, and it accommodates modern-day large dinner plates comfortably (note dimensions below). It holds up to 24 large plates, and has 3 extra long slots for large platters, bread boards and baking trays.
Tap the pic for more info/purchase. These larger plate racks are very difficult to find - it won’t last long!

Yours to buy: David Niven’s coal scuttle!
A rare vintage white enamel coal scuttle, and one with great provenance, for it was owned by actor David Niven. It was sold off as part of Niven’s house clearance after his death in 1983 and has had one careful owner since. It is square in section and has a steel and wood handle - and holds a good load of coal. Tap the pic for more info/purchase.

French bath tub for sale. Not on our website, so please DM for details.
