About this property

Luxurious Lewes house and garden stunning views

Lewes Heights is ideally suited to guests wanting luxurious, elegant accommodation in a private and quiet setting in one of Lewes's most prestigious streets. With 6 bedrooms and two reception rooms, the house suits special occasions, reunions and family gatherings and comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests. Intimate yet spacious, and with its large landscaped south facing garden, the house provides an extremely rare Lewes combination of luxury and nature, coupled with far reaching views.

Lewes Heights is a very special property that our guests love. Beautifully furnished, and adorned with fine works of art, the house is intimate yet spacious, and is located in one of the most sought after areas of Lewes. Thanks to its location on a cul-de-sac, it provides tranquility and privacy during your stay.

Lewes is one of the prettiest historic towns in England, with a river running through it and centuries of fascinating history. Full of antique emporiums, boutique shops , and bustling cafes, there is something of interest for everyone. From the house to the centre of Lewes is just a 15 minute stroll and you are just a 5 minute walk away from the stunning South Downs National Park. The exciting city of Brighton and the world famous Glyndebourne Opera House are both approximately 15 minutes by car and many of our guests enjoy the nearby sea swimming site of Tide Mills, a 20 minute drive.

With over 2000 square feet of space, and two reception rooms downstairs, the house has a lovely generous feel to it, and there are large flat screen TV's in two different rooms, both with complimentary Netflix and Amazon Prime video. 250mb internet allows those needing to work, a reliable high speed connection.

Because the house sits on a corner plot, and has a southern aspect, the house and garden enjoy all day sun late into the evening. The mature trees, hedging and planting ensures a pleasing connection to nature during your holiday with us.

There is off-street parking for one car, and easy free parking on the street outside for further parking (no permit required).

Gatwick Airport is 30 minutes by car or train. And London one hour by train.

Two smart TV's with 250mb broadband, satellite TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video included, is on hand for your entertainment. There is a hi-fi in the sitting room with which you can plug your ipod or smartphone into for music.

The wifi reaches anywhere in the house so and there is a desk downstairs in the sitting room for any work that might need to be done.

The historic town of Lewes is situated in the South Downs National Park. Not only is it an area of exceptional beauty and culture, but Lewes itself is full of cafes, restaurants, antique shops and is the starting point for amazing walks along the South Downs Way.

Gatwick airport is the closest airport (about 35 mins away by car)

Glyndebourne Opera House is 3 miles a way, and the direct train to London takes about an hour from Lewes station.

Brighton is a 20 minute drive away, or 15 minutes on the train.

Walking is best.

No parties (Stag, hen or others) and no loud noise after 11pm. No smoking or vaping anywhere inside the house.

Leisure break

Excellent house of the highest quality in a great location. Benefits of town and country only a few paces away. Alex had thought of everything from large fluffy bath towels to folded linen napkins - the place settings for our first meal were even in position. Family joined us for the weekend as the house is so spacious. Alex also checked in after arrival to make sure we had everything we needed. He is the perfect host.

Friends get together

Lewes Heights is a lovely house more than we expected with lovely added touches. It was well situated although the walk up the hills back were a bit of a challenge, we are all fitter now. We would recommend this property to anyone wanting to visit Lewes. The owners were very informative and accommodating. Altogether a lovely break with great friends.

Outstanding in every way

The house is located in an excellent neighborhood, with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and access to public grounds that enabled us to have wonderful walks when not otherwise busy. The walk to town is on a pleasant route that we loved. The house itself is very stylish and comfortable (exactly as described although even better), the garden is a delight, and the hosts were caring and communicative. We ate quite a few meals at home; the kitchen lends itself to cooking and serving. We enjoyed the gas fire, one of us had business calls and work and appreciated the separate study at the end of the garden. The children reveled in the books and puzzles and the adults found reading that made us want to stay longer. We have been coming to Lewes for years during Glyndebourne season and all agreed that we have just found a jewel.

About the host

Hosted by Alex Marshall

Hello, I'm Alex.

I am married to Gabrielle and we have four kids from 18 to 8, and a boxer dog called Daisy. My siblings and I were raised in London, although my mum was South African and my dad was a Kiwi. As such, my accent, if you met me, is a little hard to place, but those of you with sharp auditory skills might ask me if I was from NZ!

We renovated Lewes Heights in 2017 and lived there until 2019, when we made the decision to run it solely as a furnished holiday let. Since that time we have had a combination of long and short stays and take great satisfaction in creating special holidays for our guests that really exceed their expectations.

I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to preparing an immaculate house for our guests, as I realise how important a weekend or a week's holiday is for hardworking, busy people or parents. And I am also really proud of the house and the garden that my wife and I created. As you will see from our reviews, it is invariably appreciated by everyone who stays. We think that the love and care we have put into the house will shine through if you come and stay.

As we genuinely care about the experience our guests have, we do all we can to respond to requests and to make incremental improvements with every stay. For example, recently we changed all the linen from a cotton mix to a pure 100% cotton. Although harder to iron, crisp cotton sheets are hard to beat! And early in 2022 we redecorated the house and installed new Danish double glazed windows.

And we have just produced an online guide to the town (accessible when you book), that highlights the best pubs, restaurants, walks, attractions and kids days out, that will inform those guests who are not themselves familiar with Lewes.

Anyway, that gives you a little bit of insight into your host. Gabrielle and I very much hope you choose to enjoy our hospitality for your holidays.

Warmest regards, Alex and Gabrielle

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the house because in our opinion it offers a unique combination of one of the quietest locations in Lewes, and quite possibly the best views in all of Lewes. Being situated on a cul-de-sac means there is very little traffic noise and the views are far reaching over the whole of Lewes.
