Description:
Hill Lodge is perhaps the finest house in Lewes, a grand and substantial family home with spectacular views, large southerly garden. With garages land and parking available.
At the heart of the house is a breath-taking hallway which leads through to the garden, with impressive staircase rising to a galleried landing.
The rooms are characterised by light and space, elegant and well-proportioned, with high ceilings, large windows, original plasterwork and fireplaces and cast iron tapestry rails to the principal rooms.
Sitting at the top of the town, on the south side of the High Street, Hill Lodge has far-reaching views of the Downs, towards the sea, and is a short walk to the town centre and train station.
Hill Lodge is Listed, Grade II, within the protection of the Conservation Area and South Downs National Park. With deeds from the late 1700s, the house has evolved through the Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian periods to provide a spacious, simple and flexible layout. The adaptable planform provides opportunities for home-working and independant extended family-living with a seaparte entrance which can be used to access the top floor. Hill Lodge changed hands three times in the last one hundred years: Previously owned by Princess Chandra Cox of Siam, for the past 55 years Hill Lodge has been a multiple-generation family home, with space and parking for their Architectural practice.
