2 Bed - House - Terraced - For Sale

A project to aspire too, with this rare opportunity to fashion a home to your own specific design.

A mid-terraced 'bay fronted' two/three bedroom Victorian town house of understated charm and
character with tile hung upper elevations, within the acclaimed Southover suburb of
Lewes. This delightful south-facing period home, in need of modernisation and
refurbishment, affords light and well proportioned accommodation with generous ceiling
heights over three floors. Within immediate walking distance of Grange Gardens and the main
line railway station, a viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the potential of this
property.

For sale by Private Treaty, with no onward chain, this property is immediately available -
subject to contract.

The accommodation (as detailed in the accompanying floor plan) comprises two principal rooms on each of the three floors. There are
two double bedrooms on the Second Floor with a generous roof void, offering scope for an
extension/conversion (subject to obtaining the appropriate planning and building consent).
To the First Floor (or Upper Ground Floor), there is a front Sitting Room with central Study
leading to a rear Shower Room and separate Cloakroom. The Lower Ground Floor is
formed of a Sitting/Family Room and a Kitchen with a subterranean entrance via a stone
staircase leading from Dorset Road, offering the potential to create one large through room
with immediate access to the private rear garden.

All mains services are appointed. Concealed pine floorboards throughout first and second
floor.

Outside:
The rear north-facing garden is approximately 9.5 metres deep with a broad paved patio -
ideal for entertaining. The garden offers a high degree of privacy with mature trees and
shrubs, in need of some cutting back. There are established raised borders, and a
pedestrian gate to a rear ‘twitten’ from Garden Street (TBV). There is also an external
brick-built Cloakroom with low level WC.
Agent’s Note: The building line to the North elevation extends beyond the external wall,
therefore offering scope to extend the existing accommodation - all subject to the
appropriate planning and building consents.
Location:

The property is conveniently situated on Dorset Road, one of the most desirable and
attractive streets in Lewes, within an immediate walk of the town centre and main line
railway station (London - Victoria in just over the hour). Southover Grange with its
beautiful public gardens is found within 100 metres.

Lewes is a thriving county town, situated within the South Downs National Park. The town
has a good range of independent shops, the renown Depot cinema, three major
supermarkets, a comprehensive range of cafes and restaurants, and schooling for all
ages. The internationally renowned Glyndebourne Opera House is situated on the edge of
Ringmer, about 3 miles distant. Local schooling is found within walking distance, this at Southover Nursery & Primary Schools, secondary schooling at Lewes Old Grammar School as well as Lewes Priory School.
