A Unique Grade II Listed Tudor Location by the Sea
135 All Saints Street is one of the most atmospheric Tudor buildings in England. Grade II Listed and full of period charm, this rare four-level timber-framed house is just a three-minute walk from the beach and Hastings’ iconic fishing fleet — the largest beach-launched fleet in the UK. Its proximity to the sea, boats, and towering net huts adds an extra layer of texture to this already distinctive photoshoot location.
Rich, Characterful Interiors Across Four Floors
The house extends deeply from the road and offers a wealth of backdrops ideal for period shoots, film production, or editorial photography.
Inside, you’ll find four upper rooms: two bedrooms with built-in box beds (one with a plumbed-in tin bath), a bathroom in the eaves with a lead-lined wooden tub, and a cosy, wood-panelled living room with oak shutters.
The ground floor features a front parlour with a stone floor and a large inglenook fireplace, alongside a middle parlour kitchen complete with an open fire and stacked logs. Below, the lower ground level houses a dramatic double-height kitchen space with open plank shelving and a semi-underground dining cellar — the oldest part of the house, dating back to around 1480.
Soft Light, Open Fires and Hidden Details
Natural light filters gently through wooden shutters in every room, while four working fireplaces can be lit to add warmth and atmosphere to your shoot. A secluded rear yard features a tall weather-boarded fisherman’s shed and a striking fence made from reclaimed groyne oak planks. In summer, the garden becomes a wild, leafy backdrop of gunnera, hogweed and ferns — complete with an outdoor hot shower nestled among the greenery. This space is perfect for outdoor photography with a natural, lived-in feel.
Thoughtful Styling With Historic Materials
The interiors reflect the house’s raw, historic beauty. Modern utilities are cleverly hidden to preserve the feeling of stepping into another time. Lath and plaster walls remain unfinished, sea-weathered oak is left scrubbed and exposed, and metals like tin and lead bear the marks of age.
Furniture is intentionally rustic and characterful — an eclectic blend of pieces from across Europe and across centuries. Expect 19th-century Orkney chairs, Georgian velvet wingbacks, West Country settles, early Hungarian tables, and Romanian primitive furniture. In the kitchen and cellar dining room, mid-century French work tables and enamel cookers add contrast. This blend of eras creates a uniquely textured, storytelling environment ideal for interiors shoots, fashion editorials, or historically inspired film scenes.
