Description

This property presents a compelling renovation and investment opportunity in the desirable Winterbourne area, located to the south-west of Lewes. Originally designed as a two-bedroom home, it benefits from existing planning permissions that could transform it into a three-storey end-of-terrace house, significantly increasing its value and functionality. On the first floor, you'll find two bedrooms and a generously sized bathroom. The ground floor features a sitting room, kitchen, and a convenient downstairs cloakroom. There is also potential for further expansion through a roof conversion or rear extension, subject to acquiring the necessary planning approvals. The side garden offers an impressive full-height plot with dimensions of approximately 95 feet deep and 34 feet wide, currently occupied by an outbuilding that may require demolition to realize your development plans. Location-wise, Valley Road is nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac with easy access to local amenities such as a corner shop. The property is within walking distance to beautiful trails on the South Downs and benefits from excellent transport links via the nearby A27/A23 roads. The vibrant heart of Lewes, with its historic high street, independent shops, cafes, restaurants, and popular Depot Cinema, is just a short 10-minute walk away. Additionally, Lewes Railway Station provides direct services to London Victoria and Brighton. This property not only serves as an ideal residence but also represents significant potential for those looking to invest or renovate in an area known for its charm and accessibility. With immediate scope for development paired with the allure of the surrounding community, this property stands out as a unique opportunity in today's market.
