Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to present this substantial detached residence, comprehensively upgraded and offering a highly energy-efficient, 'ready to move into' standard throughout. The property is enviably positioned on the edge of the highly sought-after Wallands area in the historic county town of Lewes. Enjoying an elevated setting, the property benefits from attractive views across the picturesque Pells area towards St. John sub Castro Church, while to the front it overlooks The Paddock. Conveniently positioned within easy reach of the town centre and local amenities, the property successfully combines a peaceful, private setting with excellent accessibility.

This exceptionally well-presented and comprehensively upgraded home, offers spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over three levels. The house enjoys a bright and airy feel throughout, with an abundance of natural light enhancing the overall sense of space. The first floor comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a particularly spacious double-aspect principal suite with built-in wardrobe storage and a modern ensuite shower room, in addition to a family bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms. The ground floor is approached via a double-width driveway providing ample parking and electric charging facilities. A large entrance porch leads into a central hallway, giving access to a bright and spacious double-aspect sitting room, as well as a south facing study, ideal for home working. To the opposite side, a well-sized dining area flows seamlessly into the kitchen/breakfast room, creating an excellent space for family living and entertaining. The former conservatory has been thoughtfully converted into a fully insulated room, now providing valuable additional living space suitable for year-round use. The garden floor includes a further double bedroom, bathroom, kitchen/utility room and two interconnecting reception rooms. Subsequently this floor offers excellent flexibility and could be utilised as a self-contained annexe, guest accommodation, or an income-generating space, making it ideal for multi-generational living or those seeking supplementary income potential. Externally, the property benefits from a beautifully landscaped, woodland-style garden, offering a high degree of privacy and an ideal setting for both relaxation and entertaining. Thoughtfully designed, it features a number of seating areas, fruit beds, and a dedicated fire pit and barbecue space.
