Description

A rare opportunity to purchase one of Lewes’s most prominent and historical period buildings. This substantial 4,200 sq ft town house, spanning four floors, comes with the benefit of full planning and listed building consent to provide a magnificent private residence.

Full planning details can be viewed on the South Downs National Park planning portal using reference SDNP/24/05305/LIS.

The property requires full refurbishment to create a spectacular town house and represents a unique chance to create a bespoke landmark residence in one of Sussex’s most desirable towns.

Beyond its inherent grandeur, the property boasts an enviable location. Situated on the bustling High Street it allows residents to enjoy immediate access to Lewes's eclectic mix of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, and cultural attractions. The property is also conveniently close to Lewes train station, offering excellent transport links to London and Brighton, making it ideal for those seeking both town and country living.

The proposed layout offers an exceptional standard of living across four floors:

Ground Floor: Designed for grand scale entertaining with expansive living space, stunning central bowed hall with dado panelling, bow window with leaded light casements and access to a substantial courtyard garden.

First Floor: Three generous double bedrooms including two overlooking the Lewes historic High Street. One en-suite and a luxury family bathroom.

Second Floor: Dedicated to an opulent Principal Suite. This floor features a dressing room, en-suite bathroom, and breathtaking, far reaching views across the Lewes townscape. A fifth bedroom or home office completes this level.

Lower Ground Floor: Retaining the intrigue of the original bank vaults, this level offers lower level access and steps to the street. The space could be a perfect setting for a cinema room, wine cellar, or gym.

External: Outside to the rear, a private courtyard garden provides the opportunity to create an intimate garden for alfresco dining and entertaining in the heart of the town.
