Features and description
Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to introduce this much larger than average 1 bedroom retirement apartment to the market. The property is on the top floor with a lift and affords excellent views over Station Street to the South Downs beyond. The flat has a spacious entrance hall with storage cupboards. The sitting room/kitchen is a very good size, 25'3 x 13'3, with 3 windows and potential for opening up of the kitchen into the sitting room. The property also has a larger than usual double bedroom with a modern bathroom. The bedroom overlooks the attractive walled garden to the rear of the property. Caburn Court has a communal sitting room with kitchen, the House Manager's office, a guest room, laundry room and resident's car park. The communal walled garden can be accessed from the first floor, which also has secondary exit onto St. Nicholas Lane, giving an easy walk to the High Street and Lansdown Place for the Railway Station.
Caburn Court is well positioned in Lewes town centre on Station Street, which is located immediately between the High Street with it's historic core of independent shops and 3 superstores, pubs, cafes and restaurants, and in the other direction the Railway Station with services to London Victoria (65 mins), London Bridge (90 mins) and Brighton (15 mins). The excellent Depot Cinema is just adjacent to the station. Lewes has access to superb walks on the nearby nature park, open countryside, river bank and the South Downs.
