Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to present this most attractive double-fronted Grade II listed period house to the open market. The property has a full-width 28`10 (8.79m) sitting room with 17`8 (5.38m) dining room and 17` (5.18m) kitchen to the rear, opening onto the attractive rear walled garden. There are 5 bedrooms all together, with 3 doubles on the first floor, with ensuite bathroom to the main bedroom and a family bathroom. There are 2 bedrooms on the second floor and the roof space, which has the potential for bringing into the accommodation. There is a good size cloakroom, with the main bedroom being a separate suite. Since 2015, new central heating has been installed and solid oak floors have been replaced.

Keere Street is an iconic cobbled street leading from Lewes High Street to The Grange Manor House and Gardens. It is fabled that the Prince Regents once drove a coach and horses down the hill for a wager. The property is superbly located with fine views to the South Downs and the Newhaven Valley, being at the top of the hill and thus just feet from the High Street with its period buildings, independent shops, cafes and restaurants. There are 3 superstores in the town including Waitrose and Lewes Railway Station (London Victoria approx. 65 mins & London Bridge 90 mins) is a short walk from the property, as is the neighbouring Depot Cinema. Lewes has excellent walks through the ?old town` to open countryside and onto the South Downs.

Evidence from a local Historian dates 1 Keere Street as far back as 1430 for waste rights for the dwelling built encompassing 95-96 High Street and 1-5 Keere Street. The property was built in the 15th/16th century with some thought that it become a separate house in 1539. There has been a varied history including bakery (1780?1946) with bread oven and a butchers with a trademark hook in the sitting room, where there is also the original south wall. The original walls are said to have a vernacular box frame with English oak crown posts and the beam to ground and first floor level quite likely ship beams kept at Lewes. There is timber internal panelling and mathematical tile cladding to the corners of the building with inset wattle & daub between the oak frame with likely hazel wattle rods and horse hair lime plaster mix. There is lapsed (March 2017) permission to separate the front room for hallway and second reception room, as per the likely original layout.
