Description

This older-style semi-detached home presents a promising opportunity for renovation in the desirable Wallands area. Boasting three spacious double bedrooms across two levels, this property features a first-floor bathroom and a generous ground floor layout with an entrance hall, two large reception rooms, and a separate kitchen. A notable advantage is the approved planning permission for a loft conversion, garage conversion, and rear extension, making it an ideal candidate for further investment. The property also includes a utility room connected to the garage at the rear, providing additional functional space. The front garden accommodates a driveway for two vehicles, while the south-west facing rear garden has been newly landscaped in 2023 and offers picturesque views of the Newhaven valley and South Downs. Situated within an elevated position on Fitzjohns Road, residents enjoy proximity to Lewes town centre—approximately 15 minutes away—where independent shops, cafes, and supermarkets await. Notable local amenities include Wallands Primary School and community events such as street parties. The area is well-connected via rail to London and Brighton, enhancing its appeal for commuting families or investors seeking rental opportunities. Potential improvements can greatly enhance living space and value without compromising the property's character.
