About this property
Luxury Lewes house with *stunning views* and private south facing garden
Welcome to Lewes Heights, a rare gem of a holiday home, perfectly suited to guests seeking luxurious, elegant accommodation in a private and peaceful setting. Located on one of Lewes’s most prestigious residential streets, this beautifully furnished 6-bedroom house offers the ideal backdrop for special occasions, family gatherings, or reunions — comfortably sleeping up to 10 guests in refined style.
With over 2,000 square feet of living space and two generous reception rooms, Lewes Heights combines sophistication with comfort. It’s intimate yet spacious — ideal for celebrating togetherness while still allowing everyone room to relax.
Set on a sunny, south-facing corner plot with far-reaching views, the home is surrounded by landscaped gardens and mature planting, providing a rare blend of luxury and nature in the heart of one of England’s most charming historic towns.
From the moment you arrive, you'll notice the attention to detail. Lewes Heights is tastefully decorated throughout with fine furnishings and original artworks, creating a calm, elegant atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home.
Two beautifully styled reception rooms offer plenty of space to gather, whether for shared meals, celebratory toasts, or simply curling up with a book or a film. Large Smart TVs in both rooms include access to Netflix and Amazon Prime, ensuring entertainment for everyone. A quality hi-fi system is also available, with plug-in compatibility for your smartphone or device.
Need to blend leisure with remote work? The property is equipped with 350mb high-speed broadband and a private garden office, making it easy to stay connected.
Thanks to its southern aspect and corner plot position, the house is bathed in natural light throughout the day. The large, landscaped garden provides the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, leisurely lunches, or evening drinks as the sun sets over the Downs.
Mature trees and hedging offer privacy while maintaining a strong connection to the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape — a real retreat from the bustle of daily life.
Lewes is one of England’s most picturesque and culturally rich towns. With cobbled streets, a medieval castle, independent boutiques, antique emporiums, and riverside cafés, it offers something for everyone — all just a 15-minute stroll from your door.

Frequently asked questions
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.
