This Victorian mid-terrace in Wallands combines period charm with a practical modern layout across three floors. The house offers flexible accommodation — two double bedrooms on the first floor plus a ground-floor sitting room that can serve as a third bedroom or home office. The lower-ground open-plan kitchen and dining room is bright and social with direct access to the small rear garden and external storage.
The property is well presented and benefits from a stylish modern bathroom, separate utility area and traditional features such as sash windows and fireplaces. It sits on a quiet residential street within easy walking distance of Lewes town centre, the mainline station and highly regarded local schools, making it especially convenient for families or commuters.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: the house has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation and double glazing installed before 2002, so there is potential to improve thermal performance. The plot is modest, the property provides a single bathroom, and ceiling heights in some rooms are lower than newer builds — these are typical of the era but worth factoring into renovation or comfort plans.
Overall this freehold home offers a characterful, centrally located base with clear potential to enhance energy efficiency and adapt the internal layout. It will suit couples, small families or downsizers who prioritise location, school access and the opportunity to add value through targeted improvements.
