Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to market this magnificent detached house on the east side of Gundreda Road.

In addition to the exceptional fitted kitchen with wood-burner and wine cellar, the extension has a new utility room with a modern gas boiler with added solar power. There are 3 further reception spaces with a through sitting room having an attractive part glazed fireplace, a conservatory and a dining room (currently used as a music room).

Gundreda Road is one of Lewes` premier roads, the east side in general having large gardens, this property in particular, and the most amazing uninterrupted panoramic views, notably to the north-east and east but also to the south-east over Lewes town and the Norman Castle. Gundreda Road is one of the quietest Lewes streets, with wide grass verges and a tree-lined road, characteristic of this leafy and attractive Wallands area which is interspersed with Edwardian and attractive 1930s houses, no.15 being a stunning and notable example. There is a good primary school just a couple of hundred yards away, as are the South Down walks. Lewes is a highly popular historic town with many cultural attractions and beautiful and significant period buildings. There is a vast array of independent shops complimenting the 3 superstores, together with many cafes and restaurants, as well as a fine new cinema just opposite the main line Railway Station (London Victoria approx. 65 mins & London Bridge 90 mins).
