A unique, bespoke ‘gem’ of a property, tucked away in central Lewes with gated parking and separate private entrance. Overlooking townscape views of period High St properties.

On entering, the historically sympathetic, high quality specification and finish is immediately apparent and doesn’t disappoint as the property unfolds.

On the ground floor are 2 double bedrooms both with full height glazing, allowing light to flood in. The first bedroom has French doors which open onto the courtyard. The second double bedroom has 4 large fixed window panels with smaller windows above. The contemporary tiled bathroom with shower is adjacent, completing the inverted layout of the ground floor.

Beautiful L-shaped wooden stairs lead to the first floor with open plan living, dining, kitchen and separate cloakroom. The room opens into the apex of the roof revealing a fabulouus, double height space. The long flue of the woodburner radiates heat throughout the room, when lit and provides a cosy spot for sofas and lounging.
Half glazed double wood doors open onto a glazed Juliet balcony, with overhead plinth; the historic grain winching site. Two further sash windows and high apex window ensure the room is bright and airy.

The contemporary fitted kitchen with ceramic butlers sink, urban style open shelving, black granite worktop and tiled black & white flooring has everything you need to cook and entertain. A mezzanine area above the kitchen provides useful storage space.

There is gated, private parking for one car on the bricked courtyard, with the opportunity to develop the spacious cellar, with separate access, beneath.

This property is a rare and beautiful find.
