Set on Lewes’s lively Eastgate Street, this light top-floor one-bedroom apartment occupies a Grade II‑listed Georgian building and offers a rare town‑centre allocated parking space. Converted to a high standard about ten years ago, the flat has engineered wood floors, a contemporary fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and quartz worktops, plus a modern shower room — all ready for immediate occupation. Its vaulted ceiling and dual-aspect windows make the living space feel bright and airy despite being a top-floor apartment.
Practical points are clear: the home is leasehold with around 111 years remaining, a service charge of about £1,223 pa and a modest ground rent of £150 pa. Heating is electric (wall/room heaters) and the property has secondary glazing; the EPC has expired. The Grade II listing preserves the exterior character but will restrict external alterations and may complicate certain works.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or professional seeking a compact, comfortable base in the heart of Lewes, with shops, cafés and the station only minutes away and the South Downs within easy reach. It also has potential appeal for investors looking for a centrally located rental, though the listing and electric heating should be factored into any refurbishment or efficiency plans.
Buyers should note the town centre location brings convenience and character but also busier streets; local crime statistics are higher than average. Flood risk is low and broadband and mobile signals are good. Overall this is a characterful, renovated period flat that balances historic charm with modern finishes, best for someone who values central living and understands the limitations of a listed, electrically heated home.
