This distinctive period property, formerly the Co-Op Dairy and later the Wallis & Wallis Arms Auction House, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. The building boasts notable architectural features such as galleried showrooms, vaulted office ceilings, bay windows, and a striking clock tower. The current layout includes a retail unit on the ground floor measuring approximately 645 sq ft and additional lower ground accommodation of about 1,160 sq ft, both poised for commercial use ideally situated opposite a public car park.
Importantly, full planning permission has been granted for the conversion of this historical space into five apartments—offering a significant avenue for residential development. Each apartment is designed to have its own character while maximizing the property's charm. With allocated parking for four vehicles and additional tandem spaces available, this site also allows for communal outdoor features including a sedum roof terrace.
Located in the heart of Lewes with close proximity to local amenities and transport links—including quick access to London and Brighton—this property combines historic significance with modern potential. Investors could capitalize on its unique features while contributing to the ongoing revitalization of the area.
