Most people in Lewes know Fitzroy House, the Grade II-listed red brick building on the High Street with a clocktower and arched gothic windows. What most aren’t aware of, however, is that this former public library is also a home.
“People come in from town and say: ‘I’ve walked past this building for 40 years and I had no idea what was inside — and I certainly didn’t know anyone lived here’,” says Alison Grant, the owner of Fitzroy House. “It’s a secret place.”
