Top-floor one-bedroom flat in South Malling, offered with an exceptionally long lease (942 years) and far-reaching views over Lewes Castle and the South Downs. The living room opens onto a south-facing balcony that floods the principal room with daylight and maximises outdoor space for a city-centre-flat. Its 512 sq ft layout is straightforward and suits a single occupant or couple looking to buy their first home or downsize.
The flat is habitable but now needs updating in places: the living room shows damp staining that will require repair and the kitchen and general decorative condition would benefit from modernisation. The shower room is relatively modern and functional. Building fabric is solid brick with older double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Practical running costs are attractive: low council tax (Band A), modest annual maintenance charge (~£540) and a long lease that removes immediate leasehold worry. Note local broadband is reported as slow and local crime levels are above average — both factors to consider for daily life and insurance. The location is a real strength: about a 13-minute walk to Lewes High Street, regular buses, local shops, and good primary and secondary schools nearby.
