King Henrys Road, Lewes, BN7

In a highly desirable position in the popular Wallands Park area of historic Lewes, this beautifully appointed Edwardian home offers a fantastic layout and masses of character. The house was built circa 1905 and much of its original character can be seen in its tiled fireplaces, intricate coving, picture rails and ceiling roses, though there have been a number of updates to create a stylish and well presented house that perfectly balances traditional and contemporary. A side extension provides a striking glass and wood staircase and a library area, leading to the modern dining room and well-equipped kitchen. The latter features an island with wine fridge, plenty of fitted storage and a range of premium appliances. There is also a separate laundry room and, at the rear of the house, a home gym which offers a variety of uses. To the front of the house, three reception rooms have been beautifully restored and provide warm and welcoming spaces to relax or entertain with family and friends.

Upstairs, the four bedrooms are located together on the first floor and comprise a principal bedroom with balcony, two further doubles, an en suite guest bedroom and a family bath/shower room. Most of the bedrooms have built-in storage and the bedroom to the rear also benefits from its own access to a first-floor lobby which links the back of the house to street level. The house has been fully redecorated and is presented in excellent decorative order throughout.
