Why You’ll Like It:
Lewes Road is a great place to be, its eclectic mix of exotic street food from around the globe, vintage clothing, antique shops, independent boutiques and fresh produce making it a magnet for locals and tourists – and just a 10 min stroll takes you to the leafy Level at the foot of the North Laine which also hosts events from foodie festivals to fairgrounds.

Tucked up and back from a one way street where the permit parking has no list, this big house with broad, double glazed bays is full of light, and the front door opens to a spacious hallway, so first impressions are good!

Ahead, the first of the double bedrooms is ideal for guests or sharers as it’s spacious and raised privately from the street– and ideal if you’re a health or flight professional as you can come and go without disturbing the bedrooms upstairs.

Next door, the living dining room has garden views. A classic oak floor and simple but stylish décor make it inviting, and there’s plenty of space for family time or entertaining, with an easy flow to the kitchen. Lined with windows, the kitchen’s bright and cheerful and opens to the garden for a sociable, al fresco lifestyle. Well planned with ample storage and practical working surfaces it’s good to go with an integrated touch induction hob and electric oven beneath a hood, and there’s designated space for a large fridge freezer.

Outside the patio is an oasis of calm at the heart of the city, where the paved patio is raised to catch the sun and is large enough for a table and chairs. Child and pet secure behind walls, it’s the perfect spot for friends to meet before a day at the beach or exploring our vibrant coastal city at night.

Returning inside, the contemporary shower room is nice and airy with a walk in shower, white suite and plumbing for a washing machine.
Upstairs, three more bedrooms are all quiet and comfortable, the smallest at the back, which looks over the garden, still offering a good 3.64 x 2.39m (11’11 x 7’10). The central bedroom also has leafy views and fitted wardrobes to fill, whilst at the front, the principal bedroom has space and grace, spanning the full width of this substantial house – and don’t forget there’s a spacious attic overhead.

Agent’s Thoughts
“This is a laid back, unpretentious area which appeals to families, professionals and investors with vibrant local amenities on the doorstep – but out of hearing- the cultural heart of the city within walking distance and the sea and the Downs easy to reach.”

Owner’s secret
“The house is big, bright and easy to live in. We love the elegant proportions of the rooms and leafy views from the garden so you don’t feel hemmed in even though its just 5 mins drive to the city centre. Having both the countryside and the sea nearby is great if you run and cycle – and you’re on the Downs or the seafront in minutes. The one way street is friendly and quiet but convenient with everything you could possibly need on the doorstep and has a nice mix of people as this is a great spot if you’re a couple, an older person or a family. There is always something to do whatever you’re into and in the evenings, you won’t need to use the car to go to restaurants or theatres as you can walk or bus everywhere.”
