St. Annes Crescent is a highly sought-after crescent of largely Regency houses and mansion houses to the impressive south side. Southdown House was at one point, a public library before the 1980's conversion. The views to the south are magnificent and the town centre is just 5 minutes walk into the High Street, and 10 minutes to the historic core with period buildings including Lewes Castle and many independent shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants, 3 superstores and the popular Depot Cinema. Just south of the High Street is Lewes' mainline Railway Station with connections to London Victoria (65 mins), London Bridge (70 mins) and Brighton (15 mins).
