Lewins Croft, Mount Street

A charming two-bedroomed attached cottage, in need of updating, forming part of the historic Grade II* Listed Lewins Croft, ideally located within a few minutes’ level walk of the High Street and with the benefit of an off-street parking space.


Alfric forms part of the landmark Grade II* Listed building Lewins Croft which is divided into six individual cottages and situated on popular Mount Street, at the very heart of Battle town. The accommodation is arranged over two floors (with an additional attic floor) and now requires modernisation. To the side of the building is an off-street parking space.
The elevations are C16 timber framed with plaster infilling, the ground floor rebuilt in red brick, beneath a tiled roof. There is gas-fired central heating and partial secondary glazing.
The main features include:
• A pathway (shared with two other properties) leads to the glazed panelled front door which opens into an entrance lobby with part glazed wall and timber beams above, opening to the dining room with cork tiled flooring, exposed
brick chimney breast and hearth with bressummer beam, exposed timber beams to the ceiling. Cupboard housing the Worcester gas boiler and a further storage/larder cupboard.
• This area opens directly through to the sitting room, again with an exposed brick chimney and hearth with bressummer beam and beams to the ceiling.
The kitchen is a compact room with a range of built-in base units incorporating a single stainless steel sink unit with drainer, AEG electric hob and a Mieke oven below, quarry tiled flooring. This area now requires modernisation.
• A staircase from the sitting room leads to the first floor landing where there is a loft hatch with a ladder leading up to the attic floor.
• Bedroom 1 is a generous double bedroom with a recessed clothes storage area and exposed beams, leaded light windows overlooking Mount Street.
• Bedroom 2 also features leaded light windows and exposed beams, with views down Mount Street towards the High Street.
• The bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath with mixer taps and overhead shower attachment, set in a tiled surround, pedestal wash basin and WC, vinyl flooring and skylight window above.
• A loft hatch with drop down telescopic ladder gives access to the large attic floor with a plethora of exposed beams and a vaulted ceiling, wooden flooring and two leaded light windows looking down Mount Street towards the High
Street. This useful space currently houses the cold water tank and is used for storage. (Due to the nature of this Listed building, it is unknown whether there is any scope to utilise this space for any other purpose. Purchasers should make their own enquiries of the Local Authority and Listed Buildings department.)
