A charming two-bedroom Victorian cottage in central Lewes, offered with genuine period character and practical commuter credentials. The ground-floor sitting room has exposed floorboards, a working wood-burning stove and sash window with shutters, creating a cosy main living space. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, stripped-wood doors and original fireplaces that retain authentic detail.
The rear garden faces south and is surprisingly private for a town centre location; mature planting leads to a useful workshop at the end of the plot. The cottage-style kitchen opens onto the garden and will suit buyers seeking a period home with straightforward outside space for potting, sun and storage. The property is a short walk to Lewes High Street and the mainline station, useful for daily commutes to Brighton, London and Gatwick.
Practical points to note: the house is mid-terrace, built before 1900 with solid brick walls and secondary glazing. The EPC is D and the walls are assumed to lack insulation, so buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements. Some rooms and fittings show dated decor; updating will add comfort and value.
Overall this is a compact, characterful cottage best suited to first-time buyers or couples who value location, period detail and a manageable garden, and who are willing to invest in modest modernisation and insulation improvements.
