St Annes Crescent, Lewes

Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale this fine and immaculate two bedroom garden apartment, situated within the attractive and historic development of Southdown House in St Anne`s Crescent. Built in 1871, Southdown House was once the home of young author Daisy Ashford, and became the County Library in the 1920s, before being converted into eleven residential apartments in 2015. Flat 9 is one of just two apartments within the modern west wing and offers well-presented accommodation comprising two bedrooms, with the principal bedroom being a fine double with fitted wardrobes, together with a modern bathroom. There is also a superb 30` open-plan sitting room and fitted kitchen, with double doors opening directly onto a most attractive south-facing garden. The garden further connects to an impressive communal garden, while the property also benefits from an allocated parking space. Double glazing and gas-fired central heating are installed.

Southdown House is situated in the quiet and popular St Anne`s Crescent, characterised by its attractive Regency crescent of town houses. The property occupies a position on the southern side of the crescent, enjoying an open and far-reaching aspect over gardens towards the South Downs beyond. There are convenient local shops nearby in Western Road and Leicester Road, with further easy access to the historic High Street and its excellent range of independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants. The town also benefits from three superstores, while the popular Depot Cinema and Lewes Railway Station are situated just to the south of the High Street.
