Set on the top (third) floor of a handsome Georgian building on St. Martin’s Lane, this one-bedroom apartment delivers exceptional south- and east-facing outlooks across Lewes High Street, the South Downs and Newhaven Valley. The open-plan living room and kitchen benefit from vaulted ceiling beams, double-aspect sash windows with secondary glazing, and a compact modern kitchen — all good for bright, low-maintenance city living.
The principal bedroom is attractively arranged with built-in storage, eaves cupboards and an overhead mezzanine for extra belongings. A contemporary shower room and practical lobby with washer/dryer space add usable convenience to the 538 sq ft layout. The property has no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and a low council tax band — helpful running-cost considerations.
Notable practical points: the flat is leasehold (circa 119 years remaining), service charge details are yet to be confirmed, and heating is electric panel/room heaters which can be more expensive than gas. The apartment occupies the top floor and is reached by internal stairs only, which may limit accessibility and moving large items. Crime statistics for the immediate area are recorded as high; prospective buyers should satisfy themselves on local safety and security measures.
This home suits buyers seeking a characterful central Lewes address with memorable views and a compact, well-organised interior — particularly city commuters and professionals wanting a short walk to the station, independent shops and local amenities.
