This substantial Grade II listed townhouse sits in sought-after Rotten Row, moments from Lewes High Street and within the South Downs National Park. At about 2,493 sq ft across multiple floors, the house offers generous reception space, high ceilings, original sash windows and period fireplaces — well suited to family living and entertaining. The south-facing conservatory and sheltered courtyard provide private outdoor space in a rare central-Lewes plot.
Layout includes four reception rooms (drawing room, library, formal dining, conservatory), a fitted kitchen, basement with natural light and conversion potential (STPP), plus three double bedrooms and three bathrooms including two en suites. The principal top-floor room features dormer windows and elevated views toward the South Downs, while ancillary rooms include utility, store and boiler spaces.
Practical benefits include a double-height garage with parking and vehicular access, good mobile signal and fast broadband. However, the house is Grade II listed — any alterations will be restricted and will cause additional cost and delay. Some areas will benefit from modernisation; double glazing is dated (pre‑2002) and walls likely lack modern insulation.
Other material considerations: council tax is described as quite expensive and the immediate area records higher-than-average crime levels. For buyers seeking a high-value, character-rich town-centre home with scope to personalise and improve, this property is a rare and flexible opportunity in the heart of Lewes.
