Description

This detached bungalow presents a valuable investment opportunity in one of Lewes’ sought-after locations. Nestled behind a tall flint wall, the property is discreetly accessed and offers a unique elevated position with stunning views of the South Downs. There is significant potential for further development, subject to planning permissions, especially given that similar properties have been successfully extended or modified in the area. The generous plot includes well-maintained gardens at both the front and rear, as well as a garage, enhancing the appeal for home renovation enthusiasts. The spacious sitting/dining room features an impressive floor-to-ceiling window that invites natural light and frames the scenic garden views. Parquet wood floors throughout add character but could benefit from refinishing. The kitchen has a quaint charm with its original pine cupboards; however, updating it would enhance functionality and aesthetics. A timber-framed conservatory provides additional living space with views over the gardens. The two bedrooms offer double dimensions with natural lighting and fitted furniture, yet they may require modern updates to meet contemporary standards. The property's exterior boasts lovely landscaped gardens both at the front and back, ready for reimagining into personal outdoor spaces. Located just off Lewes High Street, this property is only a short walk from local shops, restaurants, cultural sites, and excellent transport links to London and Brighton. This unique offering allows prospective purchasers to create their ideal home while benefiting from a desirable location.
