Light-filled top-floor apartment with compact, efficient layout and a private balcony that frames distant views to Lewes Castle and surrounding downland. The living room’s large picture window and French doors create an airy feel, making the most of the 555 sq ft footprint. The kitchen is fitted with modern units, wooden worktop, plumbing for a washer and space for essential appliances—practical for first-time buyers or downsizers.
Practical extras include a long lease (967 years), an on-site garage and a below-average annual service charge of £590. EPC rating C and gas central heating via boiler and radiators offer reasonable running costs; council tax band A keeps ongoing charges low. The flat is offered chain-free, allowing a quicker move for buyers ready to act.
Notable limitations are the apartment’s small overall size and modest bedroom dimensions — best suited to singles, couples, or buyers seeking a low-maintenance home. Broadband speeds are reported slow, and the local crime rate is above average; purchasers reliant on fast home internet or seeking a very high security area should factor this in. The building dates from the mid-20th century and, while generally well-presented, may show typical maintenance requirements of its era.
Location is a genuine asset: Malling Place sits close to Lewes town centre and the station with direct links to London and Brighton. Local shops, schools (including highly regarded options nearby) and the South Downs countryside are easily accessible, making this a convenient base for everyday life and weekend escapes.
