Guide £825,000 - £875,000. Located in the heart of Lewes, minutes from the train station, this Grade II listed townhouse offers the perfect opportunity for someone to put their own stamp on it.

The Property - Right in the heart of Lewes, just a short stroll from everything the town has to offer, sits this charming Grade II listed townhouse, full of character and ready for its next chapter. Spread over four floors, it offers flexible living with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a mix of original features and neutral décor that makes it easy to move straight in. Currently let, it’s a great opportunity either as a family home to make your own or as a smart investment.

From the street, you’re greeted by a neat row of brick terraces and a sage-green front door that feels instantly inviting. Step inside and the hallway opens onto a front room that is ideal as a bedroom, study, or snug and features an original fireplace and stripped wooden floors. At the back, the living room looks out over the garden, with built-in shelving adding both storage and style.

A central staircase connects all floors. Head down to the lower ground floor and you’ll find a generous reception room and kitchen. The kitchen is set at one end, with country-style units, a butler sink, and built-in appliances. Original brick flooring runs through the reception space, where a large brick fireplace makes a striking focal point. This room is currently used as a dining/playroom, with double doors leading straight out to the garden. There’s also a handy utility room and a wet room on this level.

The first floor mirrors the ground floor layout with two well-proportioned bedrooms - one facing the street, the other looking over the garden. At the top, the principal suite spans the entire floor, with a light-filled bedroom to one side and a spacious bathroom to the other, complete with a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, and green-and-blue mosaic tiles. The hallway in between has been cleverly transformed into a work space and open wardrobe.

The garden is a private little oasis and is brick paved directly outside the reception room for easy summer dining, with a stretch of lawn beyond. It’s easy to maintain, wonderfully quiet, and not overlooked, giving you a rare sense of seclusion in the centre of town.
