5 bedroom property for sale in Lewes

Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to announce the sale of this elegant and spacious double-fronted Edwardian house privately set above and back from the street, which has been superbly and painstakingly renovated by its current owners at considerable expense. Large front to rear landings with Edwardian-scale windows fill this house with natural light. The second floor hallway has views to Lewes Castle and Firle Beacon, one very large double bedroom and a second double with a new en-suite shower room. The first floor has a further three double bedrooms, the front two with attractive bay windows offering direct views of the Castle and Baxter`s Field. The large family bath/shower room with craftsman-built panelling and cupboards includes a roll-top bath and spacious shower. The ground floor entrance hall includes its original 1910 leaded stained glass front door and surround. It leads onto the drawing room with French doors to the garden and the 27`2 x 12`6 through sitting room/dining room, both of which have new log-burners and Chesneys marble fireplaces. A rear cloakroom with access to the garden leads onto a w.c. and a magnificent newly fitted wood and granite Neptune kitchen. The generous town garden was designed by a local landscape gardener in 2022 and is set out to three sides of the house, offering a range of shrubs and trees, a small pond and lighting, with many seating areas. The rear garden offers a private haven to enjoy the summer sunshine and rear access. All the original sash windows have their Edwardian glass intact and have been completely refurbished, the original wooden floors throughout are a particular feature, and a new boiler was installed in 2021. The external brickwork was re-pointed in lime mortar and the external woodwork was painted in 2023. The current owners have loved living in this peaceful, light-filled and spacious period home, sympathetically restoring it to its Edwardian splendour with major investment. The new owners will find that all the hard work has been done!

Situated in a premier Lewes location, having excellent views across Baxter`s Field and The Paddock to Lewes Castle with a backdrop of the South Downs. Bradford Road is a quiet road and in the popular leafy Wallands district, and yet only just over 100 yards to the west end of Lewes High Street and the county town`s historic core. The town centre has many cultural attractions with a unique centre of attractive period buildings, a vast array of independent shops, thriving public houses and an abundance of cafes and restaurants in this bustling community. There are 3 superstores in the town, with Waitrose walkable in approximately 10 minutes, as is the excellent Depot Cinema next to Lewes Railway Station (London Victoria 65 mins, London Bridge 90 mins, and Brighton 15 mins).
