Sun Street is a picturesque central street of eclectic property, though predominately cottages. Lewes High Street is just 5 minutes' walk, with this historic core having so many magnificent period properties including Lewes Castle, the Town Hall, Annes of Cleves House, the Priory Monastery etc. There is an abundance of independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, the town has a charm all of its own. The Pells area with pond, open-air swimming pool and riverside walks, are on the doorstep, with the South Downs not much further, but so too are the 3 superstores, particularly Waitrose. Lewes Railway Station, with the Depot Cinema alongside, is only a little over 5 minutes' walk, with services to London Victoria/London Bridge (70 mins) and Eastbourne/Brighton (20 mins).
