Set across the 2nd and 3rd floors of a handsome Victorian townhouse, this compact two-bedroom flat delivers exceptional town and South Downs views from high, bay-windowed rooms. The sitting room’s fireplace and high ceilings retain period character, while double glazing and a fitted kitchen make the flat immediately liveable for professionals or first-time buyers seeking central convenience.
Lewes High Street, shops, cafés and the mainline station are all within a short walk, and the South Downs National Park access nearby offers easy countryside escapes. The layout is multi-story: bedrooms and bathroom are on the top floor, so the apartment suits buyers comfortable with stairs and seeking a home with distinct living and sleeping zones.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with 106 years remaining, a modest ground rent and a below-average annual maintenance charge, plus a 45% share liability for unexpected works. Built before 1900 with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and an EPC rating of D, the flat may require retrofit improvements for energy efficiency over time.
This is a characterful, centrally located home that balances immediate usability with renovation potential. It will suit buyers prioritising views, location and period charm over generous internal square footage.
