Property Description

A strikingly elegant, 3 double bedroom 1730 sq ft (tbv) Georgian townhouse located in prime central Lewes, the historic County Town of East Sussex. This Grade II listed home has been extensively restored and sympathetically refurbished by the current owners and is an exquisite example of a property of its era. The very well-proportioned accommodation is arranged over four floors and is punctuated by beautiful original and period features. The south facing living room centres around a magnificent stone fireplace and open fire set into an oak panelled wall and framed by an exposed oak beam. Equally magnificent is the cast iron Georgian Hob Grate to the second reception room. All three bedrooms have ornate cast iron fireplaces and cast iron radiators. Intricate ceiling cornicing, stripped wood floors, exposed beams, a stained glass window to the landing and the elegant Georgian handrail and delicate balustrades to the stair case rising from the entrance hall stand testament to the history of this building and the era in which it was built. What makes this restoration unique is the bespoke combination of modern high design and the way in which this works symbiotically with beautiful period features. The bespoke fitted kitchen area has underfloor heating and corian work surfaces and extends to the dining area creating a 28ft space incorporating a wood burning stove set into the fireplace and from where double doors open to the garden. Completing the accommodation to the lower ground floor is a walk-in larder with a glass door, a utility room and a cloakroom with a modern white suite. To the ground floor a 24ft living room also opens to the garden. To the first floor are 2 double bedrooms each with a bay window to front and rear aspects respectively. To the front are views to the High Street and to the rear stunning views over the surrounding countryside towards the South Downs. A cloakroom completes the accommodation to the first floor. The Georgian staircase ascends to the second floor via a landing from which one can again enjoy views to the South Downs and where a door opens to reveal a staircase to the attic. The stylish bathroom located on the second floor is a particular feature of this property also enjoying superb views over Lewes townscape towards the South Downs. This generously sized bathroom incorporates a freestanding, copper, deep-fill, roll top bath, luxury shower enclosure with rain style shower head and underfloor heating. Completing the second floor accommodation is the third bedroom which enjoys views to the High Street. Outside the south facing garden is comprised of terraces enclosed by walled borders. A pathway meanders from the property through the garden past established plants and shrubs where a timber-built summerhouse can be found to the rear.
