Property description
A fine example of a Victorian town house, offering flexible accommodation over four floors. Currently arranged as two split level maisonettes but with scope to convert back to one principle residence (subject to planning permission). This versatile property is nestled within a few minutes walk of the town centre and because of its elevated position, on the outskirts of the popular Pells area of Lewes, it has spectacular views to the rear across woods and wetlands towards the River Ouse. Inside the house, the bay windows help create a light and bright space, highlighting the internal character, with feature fireplaces and tall ceilings and the rear garden has been landscaped into separate tiers. Will you decide to keep it as two maisonettes for investment purposes or maybe live in one and create extra income from renting out the other? Or would this house make the ideal stunning home for your family as one single dwelling. Either way, it may help you to know that this house is offered with no onward chain. Lewes is the historic county town of East Sussex and boasts a wealth of independent and High Street shops, cafes, restaurants and traditional public houses. It has a mainline train station with direct links to London and Brighton and provides well regarded schools. Situated in the recently formed South Downs National Park, Lewes is 5-6 miles from the coast and offers easy access into local countryside, including many walks across the Downs.
What the Owner says:
Having been in the ownership of the family for many years, this house has offered a great home for our family to live in and an ideal central base for exploring Lewes and the Downs. We have also created rental income from the two maisonettes.
If you take a short stroll down the hill, you will come across Pells Pond, a former Victorian boating lake and Pells Pool, the oldest open air swimming pool in the country. St Johns Subcastro church holds musical concerts throughout the year and after a brisk walk across the downs, why not have a refreshing pint of Harveys in the Elephant & castle or the Lewes Arms. It's also a great spot for entertaining friends on Bonfire Night, close to where Commercial Square bonfire society gather.
