Set over two floors in a Grade II listed Georgian building, this 1,010 sq ft duplex apartment offers generous town-centre living with far-reaching views to Lewes Castle and the South Downs. The principal reception is an impressive 27ft open-plan living/kitchen/dining room with a modern fitted kitchen and integral appliances. Three double bedrooms and two contemporary bathrooms make it practical for a small family or professional sharers. The flat feels light and airy thanks to bay windows and high ceilings, and benefits from long lease term security (approx. 990 years).
The location is a clear strength: positioned just off the pedestrianised Cliffe High Street, you are steps from cafes, restaurants, boutiques, the cinema and good transport links, including a mainline station with direct services to London and Brighton. The South Downs and Railway Land Nature Reserve are within easy walking distance for regular countryside access.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or planning changes. Heating is electric, with room heaters and programmable controls, and the EPC is rated D. Annual outgoings include a service charge of about £1,353 and a relatively high ground rent of £501 per year. There is no private garden and the flat sits above mixed retail uses, which may mean town-centre noise and limited external amenity.
Overall this is a characterful, centrally located duplex that will suit buyers seeking town living, scenic views and spacious rooms in a listed building. It delivers immediate move-in condition in many areas, but is best suited to those comfortable with listed-building responsibilities and electric heating, or investors targeting a well-positioned rental in Lewes.
