All three rooms of a large, beautiful basement in central Lewes. Own front door. 2 mins (max) walk to Lewes station. All bills included.

The basement has high ceilings and large windows throughout (500sqft area with its three rooms) and is newly refurbished and decorated. The living room includes a new kitchen. The large bedroom has an ensuite shower room. The basement has a cosy, yet elegant, vibe.

£1,195 per calendar month includes all bills - that's council tax, electricity, gas for underfloor heating and hot water, wifi, water, and cleaning every other week by my trusted, lovely cleaner. (However the lodger will need their own contents insurance).

As well as being very close to the railway station (trains to Brighton take 10-15mins and to Falmer less than that), it's just a few minutes walk to Lewes High Street (and its buses to Brighton, via the universities, and Tunbridge Wells). It's also a short walk to the Cliffe area of Lewes with its further shops, pubs and supermarkets.

The basement has a large bedroom with an ensuite WC/shower room. Also a large front room (facing south) that has a sofa, table and new kitchen including fridge, large capacity air fryer, induction hob, toaster, microwave and kettle, also cutlery, pans, utensils and knives. Some crockery. Plenty of shelves and storage including a Welsh dresser. The basement has its own washer dryer and underfloor heating. There is a parking permit available if the lodger would like to activate and pay for that (although the proximity of railway and bus links to the basement means a car isn't a necessity). Sorry, no room for a bike.

Lewes is a beautiful, vibrant and historic town with pubs, restaurants, live music venues, a three-screen community cinema (100m from the house), walks from the front door on to the stunning South Downs hills. There are frequent and direct trains to the universities (Falmer), Brighton (10-15mins on the train), London and Gatwick Airport.

If you're interested: Hello! I’m Karen, the landlady and I live in the house above the basement with Frankie the wheaten terrier. He won't bother you unless you would like him to.

I'm welcoming, respectful of my lodger's living space and privacy, like meeting new people and am a former journalist turned writer (I work at home ghostwriting an autobiography). I enjoy friends and family visiting.

I'm looking for someone - preferably a professional female - who appreciates mutual respect, friendliness and privacy too.. I'm afraid no nightshift workers as my kitchen is above the basement bedroom.

Please get in touch in the first instance via email if you are interested and tell me about yourself. Thanks very much for taking the time to read this!
