House For Sale £999,950
North Street, Lewes

A unique Grade II listed property spanning over 2,700 sq ft of versatile accommodation. The property has been sympathetically restored and improved and is currently arranged as a spacious two bedroom maisonette over commercial premises and there is a wonderful lower ground floor, accessed via its own entrance. The property could potentially be converted into a substantial town house in a very central location - subject to the necessary consents. As it stands the front showroom is impressive and could provide a superb drawing room and then the magnificent rear show room would make a fantastic vaulted reception room. Downstairs the brick floored workshop would make a brilliant kitchen/dining room but as it currently is, a superb workshop/studio. There are many character features throughout the property and the views down East street towards Cuilfail and The Golf Course are most surprising for a property in the town centre. The rear courtyard garden with its potting shed and flint wall is a real sun trap.
