Light-filled top-floor one-bedroom apartment in Southover, Lewes, offering elevated views across the town to the South Downs. Recently modernised throughout, the home presents a bright living room, a contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances, and a generous double bedroom with built-in wardrobes. The bedroom’s direct access to the modern white bathroom is convenient for everyday living or letting.
Practical running costs and ownership are strong selling points: a long lease (approx. 179 years), very low service charge (around £200/year) and modest ground rent make this an economical purchase. Heating and hot water have been upgraded to a modern electric boiler and radiator system, and safety certificates are in place for peace of mind. The flat is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain, so it’s ready to occupy or let immediately.
Outside, residents benefit from secure lockable storage suitable for bikes and a free parking permit for one vehicle. The location is a short walk from Lewes town centre and the mainline station, giving easy access to local shops, pubs and cultural amenities, plus swift links to Brighton and London. Note the building dates from the late 20th century and double glazing was installed before 2002; broadband speeds in the area are reported slow and local recorded crime levels are higher than average, which buyers should consider alongside the property’s many positives.
