THIS spacious and bright home is described as one of the finest Modernist properties in Lewes.

The 1960s four-bedroom house in Rotten Row in the town has a wood and brick exterior with mid-century architecture by Wycliffe Stutchbury.

The house is now on the market and could be yours for £1.8 million.

Set within a garden on three levels, the 1,642 sq ft home has been sensitively restored.

The large living area is filled with natural light thanks to two feature windows which extend to almost the full height of the south exterior wall.

There are stunning views across the historic town and the Ouse Valley, and the South Downs beyond.

The living room also has original hardwood flooring and original fireplace, with an adjacent open-plan dining room - but there are full-height, sliding doors which can also be used to separate the areas.

The entrance hall on the upper floor also has plenty of natural light, with a door leading to the galley-style kitchen.

The Argus:

The main double bedroom has far-reaching views over the Downs and a separate dressing room, as well as a luxurious en suite bathroom with an original sunken bath.

Another bedroom, currently used as a study, has built-in bookcases which swing open up to reveal further hidden storage space.

There is a split staircase which leads to the garden floor with a further double bedroom, single bedroom, and family bathroom and also access to the outside covered area.

The Argus:

This covered space means you can enjoy the outdoors and views across the valley whatever the weather – and still keep warm thanks to a brick-built fireplace and barbecue.

The garden is on three levels and includes a lawn, wildflower meadow and a copse of trees and grassed area.

The property also has a utility room built in two former Second World War air raid shelters, as well as a large workshop space and a garage, with private parking space for up to four cars.
