Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to present this 15th century Grade II Listed house with central wrought iron gates, opening to the driveway to this property and next door. The property was built around 1480, including the Eastern half of No 18, which included a large hall. Both, including No 18's addition, were joined, becoming The Swan Coaching Inn, with additions of the Brewhouse and Stables. The Swan closed and moved to The Bell Inn up the road, and is a thriving Lewes pub to this day. Mr Verrall, the famed Lewes land owner, then acquired land, the Brewhouse and the stables and built the Malthouse, (now a town house) behind. In the 1900's No 17 became Diplocks Butchers Shop and the hatch for payment can be picked out. Southover was very much its own community, with other shops in surround. In the mid 1900's Southover Manor, originally owned by Verrall, became a girls school with No 17 part of the girls accommodation, with four upstairs bedrooms, with the East bedroom for the headmistress and a downstairs sitting room with a corridor running through No 18 to 19. The properties were then developed and reinspected in the 1980's, when the school was closed.

The property has a magnificent 18'6ft first floor sitting room with exposed beams, fireplace and panelling. This floor also contains the main bedroom and the family bathroom, as well as a single bedroom and a study landing. The ground floor has an attractive rear hallway leading to a cellar, as well as a second bedroom/study with double aspect and a ground floor shower/cloakroom. There is a front dining/family room connecting to a modern fitted kitchen with original features. The cast iron gate opens from Southover High Street to a shared driveway to the South facing private walled garden. The property has gas central heating, and also benefits from fast fibre Wifi.

Southover High Street is an attractive street of period houses and cottages, being one of the oldest and most picturesque streets in Lewes, connecting to Southover Church, Anne of Cleves House, Priory Crescent and Grange Gardens. There are superb walks to Kingston on the South Downs via Juggs Road, as well as past the Southdown Tennis and Hockey Club, with countryside beyond. Lewes Railway Station is at the far end of the lane, connecting to London Victoria (1hr), London Bridge (90mins) and Brighton (20mins). Lewes Town Centre is a ten minute walk away, with its historic core of period properties, individual shops, café's and restaurants, as well as the Lewes Depot Cinema and Lewes Castle.

Charles was within a fifth generation of estate agent in the Wycherley firm, starting in 1853 in Keere Street, previous generations dealing with Leonard and Virginia Woolf purchasing The Round House, Pipe Passage and most famously Monks House in Rodmell. Three generations alone are mentioned in the popular historical book ‘Mrs Dudeney’s Diary’. Charles Wycherley Estate Agents incorporates the skill, experience and knowledge of 30 years property work in Lewes and being a qualified Chartered Surveyor. This expertise combines with a new clear-cut modern image with new website, particulars, advertising campaign and property portals including Rightmove, to continue strong links with London, Brighton and Hove and throughout the country, to continue to sell in this highly attractive town and area.
