Set in a peaceful close in the popular Wallands area of Lewes, this three‑bedroom terrace blends traditional proportions with everyday practicality. The sitting room’s large bay window and fireplace give strong period character, while the separate dining room opens directly to a private rear garden — a useful layout for family life and entertaining. The property is offered chain free for a straightforward purchase.
The house is liveable now but will reward updating. The fitted kitchen and bathroom are functional but dated, and the home would benefit from internal modernisation to maximise comfort and value. Construction details note older double glazing and cavity walls assumed to lack insulation, so energy improvements could reduce running costs and improve comfort.
Practical advantages include gas central heating, a very useful single garage en‑bloc a short walk away, and both front and rear garden spaces. The location is a major draw: Wallands Primary School, Lewes station, shops and cultural amenities are all close by, with the South Downs on the doorstep and good commuter links to Brighton and London.
Material considerations: the plot is modest, the house dates from the mid‑20th century and is likely to need selective refurbishment rather than a full renovation. Council tax is above average and local crime statistics are higher than town average — factors to note for running costs and local conditions. Overall, the home offers solid character, convenient location and clear scope to add value with thoughtful updating.
