St. Martin`s Lane, Lewes

Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to announce the marketing of this unique and highly coveted house. The property is in an elevated location, just yards from Lewes High Street and the Norman Castle. The house is of an older style and converted with 3 double bedrooms on the first floor from a double landing. There are 2 doubles to one side with views to the south and east respectively, along with the family bathroom. The south bedroom has an attractive south facing balcony with exceptional views to the South Downs and open countryside towards Newhaven and the English Channel, and has a door to the ensuite ‘Jack & Jill` shower room. The ground floor is larger with a formal entrance hall and separate shower room and leading to the kitchen/breakfast room and utility space for a within the secondary entrance. The kitchen has potential for opening up to the second sitting room, with the study beyond, but equally this area could be converted to a small ground floor annex. There are 3 reception rooms to the south side, all overlooking the garden and with superb views. Again, there would be the possibility of opening up these rooms. Double gates from St. Martins Lane open to a patio and car parking space as well as a garage. The beautifully planted rear walled garden is large, approximately 60` x 50`, with a side entrance and an undercroft (which could be adapted to an office) and a separate cloakroom, ideal from the garden. The property benefits from gas central heating with part underfloor heating and double glazed windows.

St. Martins Lane is a much sought after central location, level from Lewes High Street and yet having such exceptional southern views to the South Downs and countryside towards the English Channel. Lewes Castle is just yards away, as are a vast array of period properties, independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants and 3 superstores. To the southern end of St. Martins Lane is the historic Southover district of Lewes and immediately to the stunning Grange Gardens. The area also includes the picturesque cobbled Keere Street, beautiful Priory Crescent, Southover Church, Anne of Cleves House, and the old Priory Monastery Ruins. The excellent Depot Cinema and neighbouring Lewes Railway Station are just a short walk, services to London Victoria (65 mins), London Bridge (90 mins) and Brighton (15 mins). Lewes has excellent primary and secondary schools and also offers superb walks across the Nature Park, along the banks of the river and of course, the South Downs.
