This bespoke five-bedroom detached home sits within the South Downs National Park, designed by sustainable architects to maximise light, views and contemporary living. At 4,142 sq ft the property offers open-plan living across multiple levels, expansive terraces, a private driveway, double garage, gym space and flexible accommodation including a ground-floor bedroom/study with ensuite and kitchenette. Eco technologies throughout include 12 photovoltaic panels, solar thermal, an air-source heat pump, MVHR and full home automation, supporting lower running costs and modern comfort.
The upper living level is arranged as an inverted plan to capture panoramic South Downs views, with a bright white-and-anthracite kitchen, central island with Bora hob, and indoor–outdoor flow to south/west-facing terraces. The principal suite features a natural slate fireplace, walk-in wardrobe and luxurious ensuite; additional bedrooms and a family bathroom with steam room occupy the mid level. A separate garden room currently used as an office provides a shower room and kitchenette for flexible uses.
Outside, the landscaped grounds include a green roof, bespoke stainless-steel benching, an outdoor kitchen and varied planted zones leading to a wooded garden—excellent for family use and wildlife. The site is private, elevated and generous in scale, with easy access to Lewes town, local footpaths, and Lewes station (approx. 1.1 miles).
Notable considerations: the home’s multi-level, inverted layout and flat/green roofs will suit buyers seeking modern, architect-designed living but may be less convenient for those needing single-level accommodation. Flat roofs, specialist eco systems and bespoke finishes can incur higher maintenance costs. Council Tax is high (Band G).
