Tucked away in one of Lewes’ most sought-after locations, this delightful detached character home offers a rare combination of period charm, a generous garden, and excellent access to everything the historic town has to offer.

The house sits proudly within the picturesque Southover area, moments from Grange Gardens, the cultural landmark of Anne of Cleves House, and just a short stroll from Lewes mainline station with fast connections to London and Brighton. Families will also appreciate the excellent choice of local schools within easy reach.

Inside, the property is brimming with character. The spacious living room, complete with feature fireplace, provides a warm and inviting space for family life or entertaining. A bright kitchen and adjoining dining room overlook the garden, creating a natural hub of the home, while a utility room and office add practical flexibility for modern living. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a family bathroom offer comfortable and versatile accommodation. The property benefits from full planning permission for a two storey extension to extend both ground floor and creates a main bedroom suite.

Outside, the property boasts a larger-than-average, level garden – perfect for children to play, keen gardeners, or simply relaxing in the sun. There is also the added benefit of a single off-road parking space, a valuable feature in this central location.
