High Street, Lewes

Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to introduce this unique and spacious Grade II listed period town house, built in the early 1800`s with mathematical tiling to the front elevation. The property is on 3 floors with fine long distance views over the Newhaven valley including the South Downs. The property has a south facing rear garden of 45ft depth and the accommodation is on 3 floors with excellent bedroom sizes. The second floor has 3 bedrooms, one particularly large with dual aspect. The first floor plan has a galleried landing with 3 further bedrooms, although one could also be an upstairs second sitting room. The ground floor has an attractive entrance hall, a 26ft sitting room, a study and kitchen with scullery and downstairs w.c.
