Property description

Internal viewings available on request.

The historic town of Lewes lies just 10 miles outside of Brighton and Hove in East Sussex; surrounded by the beautiful South Downs countryside.

With three bedrooms and a generous open plan living room, there is ample space for families and professionals alike, and the local schools are exemplary. There are several popular parks and the countryside within easy walking distance, as well as many shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs, so this beautiful home is sure to be coveted by many!

Why you’ll like it:

Beautifully renovated in recent months, this striking townhouse has everything you need for the modern lifestyle. Perfectly positioned within the county town of Lewes, there is a wonderful balance between city and country life as the town is bustling while also sitting nestled into the rolling hills of the South Downs National Park. The transport links are excellent by train or car and there is plenty to entertain you nearby too.
Lewes Lofts building bears all the characteristics of the 19th Century farmhouse with its deep gable and multi pane windows. Inside however, the decoration is crisp and modern due to white walls, engineered oak floors and contemporary fixtures and fittings.

From the tiled entrance hall there is a ground floor cloakroom/WC – an essential in any shared space, and double oak doors which open to the open plan living room and kitchen. Two wide picture windows bring in plenty of natural light yet have been double glazed for added warmth and quiet. There are clearly defined areas for formal dining and relaxed seating while the kitchen is conveniently open plan to the room. This doesn’t dominate the space, however, but accentuates it while allowing the chef to remain sociable. A range of Neff and Hotpoint appliances have been fitted within gloss units, and the solid oak worktops echo the floor.
Upstairs there are three double bedrooms with soft carpets underfoot and charming views of the local landscape. The master bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and a generous amount of space for larger furnishings, and a few steps lead down to the en suite bathroom. This has a chic finish in grey and white with a roomy curved cubicle and a heated rail, while the family bathroom has a contemporary white bath suite with a rainfall shower over it.
Outside, there is a sweet patio so you can sit outside during the summer or grow potted plants and herbs, and there is also a secure bike store.

Agent’s thoughts:

While this is a new home, it is one you immediately feel welcome in. It has a homely feel to it, and the local area has a great energy to it.

Owner’s secret:

“Lewes is a fantastic place to live for all ages. Steeped in history, there is character on every corner, and there is a lively local community who bring life to the town. It is famed, of course, for its annual bonfire celebrations, but there is a wealth of local eateries, artisan bakeries and proper country pubs to be enjoyed within walking distance. This was a great development for us and we are really pleased with the results.”
