Situated just off picturesque Chapel Hill, this beautiful property is tucked away out of sight and yet a mere stone’s throw away from the vibrancy of Cliffe High Street. Built in the 1700s, this is a rare opportunity to purchase one of Lewes's historical houses: beautifully restored, with many of its original features and exposed oak beams throughout.
As well as Lewes' vast array of independent shops, bars, cafes and restaurants (including the original Bill`s restaurant) there are three superstores all within easy reach, as well as South Downs and riverside walks. Lewes Railway Station, with it's connections to London Victoria (65 mins), London Bridge (90 mins) and Brighton (20 mins), is less than 10 minutes on foot. The superb Depot Cinema is just opposite.
To find this unique property, you enter through the shared gate on Chapel Hill to a secluded walkway. The front door is to the left and to the right is a quaint garden complete with raised beds, patio area and pond. The pond sits on the site of a ceramics pottery dating back to the 1740s. You can still see the original brickwork on the far wall. At the end of the garden is a tastefully designed modern studio, complete with underfloor heating, lighting, power and a sink.
The front door opens to a spacious sitting room with hardwood floors, larger than average Inglenook fireplace and working log burner.
The kitchen is then situated down two steps and offers a gas hob, electric oven and space for a fridge/freezer and washing machine. There is additional access through a stable door to the shared courtyard.
The lower ground floor, with beautiful stone flooring, is the perfect multifunctional space and could be used as an extra reception room, guest room or office.
On the first floor, a spacious landing leads to a large bright bedroom. The modern bathroom has a separate shower and bathtub. Stairs lead up to the second floor master bedroom, with vaulted ceiling, fitted wardrobes and views of the garden.
