Description

This distinctive 3-bedroom residence is set within the historic grounds of the former Lewes Racecourse, an area rich in heritage that dates back to the 1700s. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the South Downs, this property provides both tranquility and accessibility to Lewes high street and mainline station. The elevated position offers stunning countryside vistas and direct access to a variety of outdoor pursuits including walking and cycling through scenic bridleways and footpaths. Converted around two years ago, the property successfully marries modern living with original character elements such as exposed pipework, rubber flooring, cork tiling, and visible beams and brickwork. Within its two levels, it features a versatile layout: a spacious living room leading into a study area, a kitchen/dining room perfect for family meals, and a family bathroom on the ground floor. The first floor houses three well-proportioned bedrooms. The exterior boasts a private driveway leading up to securely gated access, accompanied by parking space and a courtyard garden that capitalizes on the beautiful views. Importantly, there is substantial potential for further expansion or modification of the property (subject to planning permission), making this an appealing opportunity for investors looking to enhance its value while enjoying rural living.
