Summary - 6 LANCASTER STREET LEWES BN7 2PX
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Extendable town cottage close to High Street and station with private south courtyard.
Approved planning permission to add third bedroom and ensuite (Ref SDNP/25/00794/HOUS)
A beautifully presented two-bedroom terraced cottage in the desirable Pells area of Lewes, minutes from the High Street and Lewes station. The house has been recently renovated and combines period character — sash windows, ornate fireplace and high ceilings — with a modern kitchen/breakfast room and a contemporary bathroom. The southerly-facing courtyard garden is low-maintenance and private, ideal for outdoor dining and potted planting.
Significant added value comes from approved planning permission (Ref SDNP/25/00794/HOUS) to extend to the rear, creating a third bedroom and an ensuite shower room on the top floor. That permission makes the property a strong choice for a growing household or buyers wanting to increase space and long-term value in a central Lewes location.
Buyers should note a few practical limitations: the plot is very small and the house footprint is modest, so outdoor space is limited. Broadband speeds are reported as slow and the immediate area records above-average crime levels. The solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, and the double glazing was installed before 2002 — both factors to consider for future energy-efficiency upgrades.
Overall this is a characterful, newly renovated mid-terrace with clear potential to become a three-bedroom home under the approved plans. It will suit first-time buyers or couples seeking a central Lewes base with scope to add value, provided buyers are comfortable with the modest plot size and some medium-term improvement tasks.
