The A27 lies a short distance to the south of Lewes and provides fast access to the A23/M23, Gatwick Airport and the national motorway network. The coastal, business and entertainment city of Brighton and Hove is some 8 miles distant.

Believed to date back to circa 1760, Brack Mound Lodge is a attached period house which has been considerably improved by the current owner and has a wealth of character and charm.

Features of note include wooden floorboards, quarry tile floors, bay windows and two wood burners, one in the drawing/dining room and one in the sitting room.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of antique pine dressers, with a two oven Aga set underneath a window which overlooks Lewes Castle.
