Overview
19 Keere Street is a quintessential Lewes home, showcasing striking flint and red brick elevations beneath a tiled roof. Set on a celebrated cobbled lane, the property blends historic character with refined contemporary finishes, offering a peaceful retreat in the heart of the town.
The ground floor is defined by warmth and well-balanced proportions. A welcoming entrance hall leads into a comfortable sitting room with an elegant cast-iron fireplace. Beyond lies a well-proportioned dining room, centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove and heavy timber bressummer. Finished with traditional terracotta tiles and exposed beams, this space flows seamlessly through French doors to the garden. The adjoining kitchen is bright and practical, featuring wooden worktops, a larder and a useful utility area.
On the first floor, a well-appointed double bedroom benefits from a cast-iron fireplace and access to a versatile nursery or dressing room. A bright family bathroom with brushed brass fittings, together with a single bedroom and adjoining study overlooking the town, complete this level. The second floor is dedicated to a generous principal bedroom. Set within the vaulted eaves with painted beams and original floorboards, this characterful space enjoys far-reaching views across the historic rooftops of Lewes towards the rolling South Downs.
Outside
To the rear, the property enjoys a charming southwest facing walled courtyard garden. This private, low-maintenance space is ideal for al fresco dining, with brick-paved pathways and mature borders providing a leafy backdrop. From its elevated position on Keere Street, the house is ideally placed for access to Lewes’ eclectic High Street.
