About this home
Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to offer this superbly and extensively refurbished end-of-terrace cottage to the market. Every effort has been made in transforming the property into a modern home while retaining fine and attractive period features, creating a stylish yet characterful living space. The cottage offers two double bedrooms, with the second incorporating a study facility and a newly fitted independent shower room. The ground floor is arranged in an open plan style, with a sitting room to the front featuring an attractive fireplace, flowing through to a newly fitted kitchen with utility section to the rear and integrated appliances. The refurbishment has been carefully managed by a respected local craftsman and building expert, ensuring a very high standard throughout. The property also benefits from a south-facing garden with immediate seating area and a magnificent raised terrace enjoying all-day sunshine.
The property is set into the Downs with woodland behind, yet remains conveniently located just to the east of Lewes town centre. It is within easy reach of local amenities including Marks & Spencer Simply Food Lewes, Tesco and Aldi superstores, as well as the historic Cliffe High Street with its individual shops, inns, cafés, restaurants and antique emporiums. A charming humpback bridge connects the area to riverside walks and the Eastgate shopping centre, leading on to the iconic Lewes High Street. Lewes Railway Station is approximately a 10 15 minute walk, offering regular services to London Victoria and London Bridge in around 70 minutes, and to Brighton every 20 minutes, and is adjacent to the excellent Depot Cinema Lewes.
