Set on a generous plot in Southover, this five-bedroom detached house offers substantial family living across about 1,647 sq ft. Ground-floor living is flexible — sitting room, dining room, study/bedroom five, conservatory and garden room — while the kitchen/breakfast room and utility back up everyday family life. The master suite includes a dressing area and ensuite; a newly fitted family shower room serves the other bedrooms.
Outside, a south‑east facing rear garden with paved patio and lawn provides all‑day sun and pleasant views towards the South Downs. A double integral garage gives secure parking and storage, and — subject to planning permission — has potential to be converted into an annex or separate living space. The house sits within easy walking distance of Lewes station, local amenities and high‑quality schools, making it a convenient base for commuting and family routines.
Practical points to note: the property was built in the 1980s and has double glazing installed before 2002, so some thermal and energy upgrades may be desirable. There are two shower rooms for five bedrooms, which could mean morning congestion for larger households. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and the local recorded crime level is high; buyers should consider security and running costs.
This home will suit buyers seeking spacious, adaptable family accommodation in a historic town setting and within the South Downs National Park boundary. If you value outdoor space, good school choices and direct rail links to Brighton and London, this house offers a strong platform — with scope for modernising and possibly extending or reconfiguring the garage into additional living space (subject to permissions).
