Summary - 121 High Street BN7 1XJ
6 bed 1 bath Town House
Spacious Georgian town house in central Lewes — large renovation opportunity close to station.
6 double bedrooms across three floors, over 2,400 sq ft
Dating in part from the early 18th century, this double-fronted town house on Lewes High Street offers more than 2,400 sq ft of flexible, character-filled accommodation across three floors. Generous room proportions, high ceilings, sash windows, original fireplaces and parquet flooring provide a strong period framework for an elegant family home. The property sits within the South Downs National Park and is only about 0.5 mile from Lewes station, giving excellent links to Brighton and London.
The house requires comprehensive modernisation and is offered as a renovation project — a clear opportunity to reconfigure services, create additional bathrooms and upgrade heating and insulation. Currently the home has electric storage heating, secondary glazing and solid brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation, so buyers should allow for significant works and running-cost improvements. There is only one full bathroom and a cloakroom for six bedrooms, which will be a priority for refurbishment.
Outside, an enclosed south-facing walled garden and covered seating area provide private outdoor space for entertaining and planting, while resident permit on-street parking serves the property. The garden and some interior areas need cosmetic and structural attention but present good potential to create attractive alfresco and family spaces.
This address will suit a buyer looking for a substantial period property to renovate and personalise — families seeking central Lewes living, or investors and developers able to manage and budget for a sympathetic restoration. Important practical considerations are the likely high council tax, the property’s current heating and insulation status, and local higher crime statistics, all of which should be factored into plans and costs.
