Description

This distinctive 3-bedroom property from the 1930s, located in the well-regarded Nevill area of Lewes, presents an excellent opportunity for those looking to invest in a home with considerable renovation potential. The property has been partially modernised, providing a semi-open plan ground floor layout that is functional for contemporary family life, while still offering scope for further improvements and expansions. Notably, planning permission was granted in 2021 for a two-storey side extension, indicating the viability of increasing the property's footprint (subject to usual consents). The interior comprises an inviting L-shaped sitting room featuring a fireplace and wooden flooring, paired with a modern kitchen and dining area overlooking the south-facing garden. The ground floor also includes a versatile study with vaulted ceilings and a cloakroom equipped with plumbing facilities. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a modern bathroom provide ample space for family living. Outside, you will find an impressive detached annexe which could serve various purposes—ideal for guests or rental income—as well as an additional recreational cabin designed for entertaining. The outdoor space is equally appealing, boasting a spacious southerly garden filled with greenery and multiple outbuildings offering practical uses. This property truly stands out with its combination of charm and potential—an ideal canvas for personalisation or enlargement in one of Lewes's desirable neighborhoods.
