3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

On a superb secluded plot in the popular Nevill area of Lewes, this original semi-detached home, built in 1930, sits peacefully behind its mature hedging. The house has been a happy family home for nearly two decades, and has been thoroughly modernised for contemporary living. The property has been well maintained, and is very characterful. Entering through an arch in the mature privet hedging ..the path leads down the private front garden to the front door, it also offers easy access around the side of the house to the sheltered double doors at the back of the double aspect kitchen diner. The kitchen/dining room has views down the wide steps to the extensive garden and also accesses the secluded arbored terrace which itself has views over Lewes towards Mount Caburn and Firle Beacon. The ground floor has a very large, spacious double aspect sitting room with trifold doors to the terrace. The house has 3 bedrooms on the first floor, accessed from a spacious and light landing, with family bathroom as well as a versatile and light loft room. A particular feature of the property is the generous rear East facing garden extending to over 100ft. Nestled in the leafy depths of the garden are two bespoke oak clad workshops, that are currently used for a thriving woodworking business. Various future uses would suit a home office, artists studio or chalet bedroom. The property benefits from UPVC double glazed windows and gas fired central heating, with a new combo boiler (2024 Alpha Evoke 28NX) , and has been rewired throughout.

North Way is a popular road, and the first road to have been developed as part of the estate in the 1930s, benefitting from large garden plots and easy access to miles of beautiful South Downs walks - access 3 minutes walk away. The area has a real sense of community, an established neighbourhood providing both a sense of safety, friendship but also privacy. It's a great place to own a dog. There is a great local shop, Mount Harry Stores', a crescent recreation green, and the popular Wallands Primary School, as well as easy access to the A27 Eastbourne-Brighton road and further to the A/M23 for Gatwick/London. It has its own bonfire society, connected to the iconic Lewes Fireworks, and ample on-street parking. Lewes town centre is a 20 minute walk with its historic period properties and independent shops, locally owned cafes, pubs and restaurants, as well as 3 superstores. Just to the south of the High Street is Lewes railway station (London Victoria 65 mins, London Bridge 70 mins and Brighton 15 mins), with the popular, and super cool Depot Cinema right next door.
