5 bedroom detached house for sale in Malling Street, Lewes, BN7

Price:

£3,000,000

Location:

Lewes, E Sussex

Description:

Undercliffe House is perhaps one of Lewes’ most recognisable and unusual properties, situated in an elevated position to the east of the town centre with a hidden entrance that offers little clue to what lies behind. The setting is second to none: situated close to superstore shopping and a wealth of conveniences, yet approximately 10 minutes on foot to the historic centre of town and its mainline station. The property was built in 1865 in the Gothic style by local architect and builder, James Berry, and has a striking appearance including towers, an octagonal porch and a French pavilion-style roof – the house was extended in the 20th century in a Post-Modern style, which adds rather than detracts to the original building. Internally there are a number of character features, including porthole windows, Victorian style toilets, exposed beams, picture rails and wooden floors. The house has been updated in recent years to include upgraded bathrooms, in particular an outstanding principal en suite featuring a double shower and a round copper soaking tub, and a beautifully appointed farmhouse-style kitchen. In the parlour rooms, the original fireplaces and crown mouldings remain, creating fabulous spaces for entertaining. Despite being surrounded by woodland, the elevated home feels bright and airy and has excellent natural light, enhanced by the high ceilings, generously proportioned rooms and the tall windows which also serve to frame the magnificent far-reaching views over Lewes Castle, Malling Coombe and the South Downs. The accommodation amounts to about 3356 sq ft across three floors, with the addition of the two towers providing further space and unrivalled views. The house is entered on the ground floor via a glazed entrance which leads to the main sitting room and separate dining room; the latter leads to a kitchen/breakfast room, a cloakroom with w. c. and a utility room. On the lower ground floor. Still available at ListedBuy!
