Trusted Kitchen Worktop Installers in Lewes

Lewes Worktop Information

Lewes is the county town of East Sussex, on the River Ouse, about 9 miles north-east of Brighton and 7 miles east of Newhaven. The BN7 postcode covers the town across several sectors, with the historic town centre, the castle, the Barbican, and the distinctive Cliffe and Southover areas. Lewes has a well-preserved Norman castle, a high concentration of listed buildings, and a townscape that has made it one of the most attractive county towns in the South East. The annual Bonfire Night celebrations in Lewes are the largest in England, drawing thousands of visitors to the five bonfire societies that parade through the town. The housing stock ranges from medieval buildings in the upper town to Georgian and Victorian townhouses on the main streets, Edwardian and interwar housing in the residential approaches, and some newer development. The outer BN7 area covers the Ouse valley villages. Average house prices in BN7 run well above the East Sussex average.
