Description

This detached bungalow presents a compelling investment opportunity in one of Lewes' sought-after locations. Nestled behind a tall flint wall and accessed through a discreet gate, the property benefits from an elevated position that offers picturesque views of the surrounding area. There is substantial potential for development, subject to the necessary permissions, as evidenced by similar projects on Rotten Row. The generous plot features well-sized gardens both at the front and rear, alongside a garage that adds functional value. Inside, the home reveals a spacious sitting/dining room measuring 26ft, characterized by its dual aspect design and striking floor-to-ceiling window that frames views over the garden and beyond to the South Downs. The internal layout includes two double bedrooms with ample natural light, a fitted kitchen needing modern updates, and both a shower room and cloakroom that could benefit from contemporary refurbishments. The property also features an inviting conservatory with panoramic views of the surrounding gardens. While retaining many original features such as parquet wood floors, some areas could use upgrades to enhance comfort and aesthetics. With its prime location near shops, restaurants, and excellent transport links to London and Brighton, this bungalow is well-positioned for those looking to invest in a renovation project that could yield significant returns.
