Bright, compact and centrally placed, this one-bedroom open-plan flat occupies a period conversion on Lewes High Street with exceptional outlooks. To the front there are direct views of Lewes Castle and to the rear a sweeping view across the South Downs National Park. The living space is well-proportioned for its size, finished with timber flooring and a contemporary kitchen and shower room.
This apartment will suit a professional commuter or first-time buyer seeking town-centre convenience. The mainline station and a wide range of independent shops, cafes and restaurants are all within easy walking distance. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent, and the property is offered chain free with a very long lease (982 years).
Buyers should note practical considerations: the main heating is electric room heaters rather than a central system, the building has solid brick walls (no insulation assumed), and double glazing install date is unknown. Service charges average £1,336 and council tax is described as quite expensive—factor these running costs into your budget. The area has a higher recorded crime level than average; local amenities and community feel are strong, but purchasers should satisfy themselves on safety and security measures.
Overall this is a characterful, low-maintenance central flat with desirable views and commuter convenience. It offers immediate occupancy and scope to personalise the interior, but limited floor area and the electric heating arrangement mean buyers looking for larger family homes or gas central heating should consider alternatives.
