51 St. Anne’s Crescent is a handsome house offering more than 3,500 sq. ft. of character-filled accommodation arranged over four floors. The property requires some modernisation but offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property of this scale in a sought-after Lewes location, with a south-facing garden.

The receptions rooms are located on the lower two levels, with the ground floor featuring a sitting room at the front and a drawing room at the rear, both of which share similar proportions and large sash bay windows welcoming plenty of natural light. Adjoining the drawing room is the conservatory with its glass ceiling, door and steps to garden, and panoramic views across the garden. The lower ground level offers further space in which to relax with the family room and the dining room, as well as a kitchen with fitted wooden units and sliding glass doors opening onto the garden.

There are three bedrooms on the first floor, with a further three on the second floor. Each of the bedrooms are doubles, four of which include built-in storage. The first floor also has a shower room, while the family bathroom is located on the second floor. The rear bedrooms on both the first and second floors benefit from splendid views towards the South Downs.

Outside

At the front of the property, the gated pedestrian entrance opens onto a paved pathway and steps leading to the front door , while at the side there is parking space for one vehicle. Further parking is available for resident permit holders in marked bays along St. Anne’s Crescent. At the rear, the south-facing garden includes a patio across the back of the house and an area of lawn bordered by beds with various shrubs, hedgerows and flowering perennials. Towards the end of the garden, steps lead down to a second area where there is a small vineyard and a detached garage for parking or garden storage. There is rear access via shared lane off Winterbourne Hollow.

Situation

The property lies in a sought-after Lewes setting, just a quarter of a mile from the town centre and approximately a mile from the mainline station. This vibrant and historic county town forms part of the South Downs National Park and provides an excellent range of individual shops, restaurants and recreational facilities. The town also provides a choice of schools, including the independent Lewes Old Grammar School. The A27 lies a short distance to the south of Lewes and provides fast access to the A23/M23, Gatwick Airport and the national motorway network. The coastal, business and entertainment city of Brighton and Hove is some seven miles distant.
