Description

This distinctive five-bedroom detached residence is set on a generous 0.5-acre corner plot within the Lewes Road conservation area, ideally located near countryside views, local amenities, and educational institutions. Having been in the same family for three decades, the house has been well-maintained yet shows signs of its age, presenting a prime opportunity for buyers looking to modernize or reconfigure the layout to suit contemporary living needs. The property boasts ample driveway parking and a double garage, with additional potential for expansion — whether that means enlarging the garage or considering a home office above it (subject to planning permission). The expansive garden area also offers intriguing possibilities for creating additional dwellings as allowed by local covenants. Nonetheless, prospective buyers should be aware that any changes regarding these building restrictions would need careful consideration as they are not part of the seller's interest. With an EPC rating of D, this home invites you to explore its full potential and transform it into your ideal family haven.
