Description

Located in the vibrant town centre of Lewes, this property presents a remarkable chance for development with existing planning permission for a unique project involving nine residential units. The proposed design includes five three or four-bedroom townhouses, two two-bedroom duplexes, a two-bedroom apartment on the second floor, and a one-bedroom apartment on the top floor. This strategic location is just moments away from Lewes's historic high street featuring a variety of shops, eateries, and charming antique stores. Residents will also enjoy proximity to the serene Railway Land Nature Reserve and benefit from the convenience of the Mainline Railway Station within a short five-minute walk. Each unit offers an allocated parking space, with the potential for an additional six spaces on-site. The planned communal garden area will serve as a pleasant outdoor space for duplex residents and their apartments, while townhouse owners will have access to spacious rear gardens—an unusual feature for a central development. The project is prepared to commence construction as it comes with approved planning permissions (Ref: Sdnp/16/01618/ful). Potential architectural highlights include curved walls, expansive terraces and balconies, and impressive floor-to-ceiling windows that would enhance the overall living experience. Designed by Morgan Carn Architects of Brighton, this site is available due to current business commitments relocating elsewhere. This opportunity not only aligns well with family needs due to accessible schooling options but also offers close proximity to public parks such as Grange Gardens. It’s worth noting that buyers must connect the finished properties to necessary utility services, and there’s an obligation under the s106 agreement concerning affordable housing provisions or associated charges if unmet.
