Reasons to move to Lewes 

The charming town of Lewes may be best known for its all-out bonfire night celebrations, but only visiting during the festivities means you’re missing out on one of Sussex’s most stunning settlements.

Nestled in the heart of the South Downs National Park, this historic town is small enough that you get benefits like a slower pace of life and a community feel, but large enough to have important infrastructure like great public transport links and places to purchase essentials. 

There are a number of great local attractions like Lewes Castle and Anne of Cleves House, so for a dose of culture you don’t have to go far. If you really want to dive into nature, there are countless well-established countryside walks just a stroll from the centre of the town. Because of its diverse population – thanks to nearby Brighton and Sussex Universities – and prime countryside-coastal location, Lewes is also a hotspot for active pursuits. 

Lewes is well-connected to the area surrounding it via bus, road, and train, being on the Brighton to Hastings line. Its famous bohemian neighbour is a great day (and night out), but Lewes itself is also home to a number of historic pubs and more modern bars, as well as great local restaurants. Easy access to the sea is also a boon for residents, but just as easy is a trip to the capital, with London around an hour away by train – an option many take daily as part of their commute.

There is a lot of variation in the housing options in Lewes. You can find thatched countryside cottages on the outskirts of the town, as well as modern apartment blocks closer to the centre. The population of the town reflects this, with retirees living alongside international students and young families led by working professionals. This region of East Sussex has a healthy concentration of wonderful schools, so if you’re thinking of moving for family reasons then you can find few better places.

What our clients have to say:

 

I would like to say a big thank you to the staff of Strutt and Parker for the superb service that we received. The sale of our house was complicated to say the least involving property chains, council permissions and complex negotiations. Freddie and Charlie kept us fully informed throughout and were always available to give advice, negotiate on our behalf and chase progress. I have dealt with many estate agents over the years. For me, Strutt and Parker stand head and shoulders above the rest and I would recommend them without reservation.

It has been a pleasure to do business with you and I just feel very cross with myself for not coming to you in the first place – hindsight is a wonderful thing!!

Many thanks for your good wishes, and may we in turn say how much we appreciate the courteous, efficient and pleasant way business was conducted by you and your team.
