Keere Street, Lewes, BN7 1TY

Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to offer this fine period cottage in one of Lewes` most iconic locations, near the top of historic Keere Street.

The property`s entrance hall has a cloaks/study area to the front, and access to the cellar. The sitting room and kitchen to the rear has full-height glazing and door to the rear garden.

On the first floor, the front bedroom adjoins the bathroom, and the rear bedroom is on two levels with a mezzanine offering potential for a second bathroom.

The property is well presented in a contemporary style and has a south-east facing garden.

There is gas central heating, original features and fine southerly views to the Ouse Valley and South Downs and, from the top bedroom, downland views to the west.

Considerable work was carried out on the property from 2018 during a major refurbishment.

These works included: new kitchen and bathroom; addition of downstairs wc; new staircase; addition of stairs to cellar; new Velux windows to mezzanine; new gas central heating boiler; new flooring on ground and first floors; improved electrics and new consumer unit.

Much of the property has been replastered internally, and external walls repointed. Insulation has been significantly upgraded.

Keere Street is a delightful prime position in Lewes, running south from the High Street to the Southover district, with Southover Grange and Gardens at the bottom of the hill.

There are many historical attractions in this area including the Priory Monastery Ruins, Anne of Cleves House, Priory Crescent and Southover Church.

The walk to the High Street is just a short incline and gives immediate access to Lewes` shopping facilities with a vast array of independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, as well as 3 superstores, including a Waitrose, in the town.

The popular Depot Cinema and adjacent mainline Railway Station are just a 5 minute walk (connections to London Victoria and London Bridge 70 mins & Brighton 20 mins).
