Malling Street, Lewes, BN7

Bakery Cottage is a well presented, wonderfully characterful home in the heart of Lewes. Tucked away out of sight at the end of its own private alleyway, this quirky, artisan house is a haven of peace and tranquillity, and yet is a mere stone s throw from the vibrancy of Cliffe High Street.

As well as Cliffe s vast array of independent shops, bars, cafes and restaurants (including the original Bill s restaurant). 3 Superstores, including Waitrose, are all within easy reach, as are the South Downs and riverside walks. Lewes Railway Station, with connections to London Victoria (65 mins), London Bridge (90 mins) and Brighton (20 mins), is approximately 10 minutes walk and has the superb Depot Cinema opposite.

Dating from the 1830s, and once part of the old bakery, the house was originally built atop two converging flint walls behind the houses of Malling Street, resulting in spacious and unusually shaped rooms - making it a truly unique property, even by Lewes standards. It has all its original features, is in good order and has gas fired central heating throughout.

On the ground floor is a modern kitchen/breakfast room, with painted tile flooring, solid oak worktops, and a glazed door to the garden. The cosy yet spacious sitting room features a wood burning stove and wooden floors.

Upstairs are 2 generously sized bedrooms with views over the townscape, and a modern bathroom.

The property further benefits from 2 timber-built garden studios and a good sized, completely secluded garden which, due to its elevation, has sunshine throughout the day.
