Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to present this superbly improved and thoughtfully extended cottage, ideally situated in one of the most sought-after locations within Lewes. The property offers well-proportioned accommodation arranged over several levels, including three generous double bedrooms. The impressive roof room enjoys a dual aspect, affording delightful views towards Lewes Castle and the nearby boatyard. The principal bedroom, positioned at the front on the first floor, benefits from a stylish, contemporary ensuite shower room. To the rear, a further bedroom currently utilised as a study features double doors opening onto an attractive walk-on glass seating terrace. Externally, the property continues to impress with a series of beautifully designed seating terraces, culminating in an elevated deck that captures stunning westerly views across Lewes and towards the South Downs, with out outside studio with mezzanine. These outdoor spaces provide a perfect setting for both relaxation and entertaining. The ground floor comprises a charming front sitting room with a wood-burning stove, leading through an open archway into a striking 24' kitchen and living area. This central space has been extended to create a light-filled environment with glazed roof, and built-in seating. The kitchen is fitted with attractive wooden cabinetry, complemented by oak worktops and a stainless steel gas range cooker, combining practicality with character. Further benefits include underfloor heating to the tiled dining area and a beautifully appointed family bathroom on the first floor, complete with a classic roll-top bath.
Situated within a quiet cul-de-sac, South Street enjoys a prime position linking the eastern end of Cliffe High Street to the riverside near The Snowdrop Inn. The property also borders Chapel Hill walkway, providing direct access to scenic routes across the South Downs and towards Lewes Golf Club. Despite its peaceful setting, the location is exceptionally convenient for the town centre. Cliffe High Street offers a vibrant mix of independent shops, antique emporiums, pubs, cafés, and restaurants, while nearby Waitrose at the Eastgate area is easily accessible via the bridge. Additional shopping facilities, including Tesco and Aldi, are within easy reach, along with the historic Lewes High Street, renowned for its period architecture and cultural attractions. Lewes Railway Station is approximately a 10-minute walk away, offering regular services to London Victoria and London Bridge in around 70 minutes, and is conveniently located near Depot Cinema Lewes.
