Paddock Road, Lewes, 2 bedroom, House

A characterful Victorian 2 bedroom cottage, sympathetically redesigned internally by an architect and situated in the well known picturesque Paddock Road. Outstanding views of Lewes Paddock with its rolling lawns and trees to the front, and to the rear, a view of gardens and Lewes castle.

Paddock Road is a tranquil slice of the countryside in the middle of the town and although a quaint quiet lane, it affords resident only parking by permit. Lewes High Street is just over 5 minutes walk, as is Lewes Castle and many historical attractions. Lewes has a vast range of independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, as well as 3 superstores, the superb Depot Cinema and mainline Railway Station (London Victoria 65 mins & Brighton 15 mins).

The cottage offers very bright rooms of good proportions with a modern but characterful feel. It benefits from a new boiler, Hive heating, new flat roofing and insulation to the dormer windows, a new bridge to the garden, new carpeting on the upper floors, new neutral decoration throughout and painted hardwood double glazed windows.

On entering the cottage, you are greeted by quarry tiled flooring throughout the ground floor. The entrance hall offers space for hanging coats and a meter cupboard. The open plan kitchen lounge diner has hand built wooden cupboards, painted white with solid oak worktops. There is a marble insert in the peninsular worktop. There is a large butler sink has salt glazed tiles made by Sarah Walton, a brand new Cookology stainless steel gas hob and a Zanussi stainless steel fan oven. The lounge area has an open fireplace. Outside is a lower back patio with brick laid floor and flower bed, and a separate brick built outbuilding with electricity and plumbing.

The first floor consists of a bedroom and a generous size bathroom with Karndean flooring. A further bedroom is on the second floor. All rooms have many restored original features and particular care has taken to reuse much of the original wood.
