Features and description
Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to present to the market a property with three packages of which all, or three can be purchased individually. The main dwelling is an elegant and iconic windmill with attractive weatherboarding, being detached with eight sided elevations and a tiled roof. The property is well priced to sell, offering a unique and exciting living space. The second floor has superb views over Lewes to the South Downs and has two bedrooms, including a master with ensuite bathroom. The first floor is a stunning one reception room floor, bathed with light and embracing the full windmill feel. The ground floor has an attractive entrance hall showing the attractive wrought iron staircase climbing all three floors, with shower/wet room and the 26' depth open-plan kitchen/sitting room through the middle of the property with utility and bedroom 3/study off of it. The plan shows a large plot with parking and private side and rear garden, which has eight stables, but these could be removed to provide a south and west facing walled garden and a three acre parcel of land, unfenced, is offered separately in case of equestrian interest, a few hundred yards distant on the South Downs for riding out but not paddock.
The second section is a detached property arranged as two flats. The upper flat has been recently renovated with south facing balcony from the 19' depth sitting room with separate stair access. The kitchen and bathroom have been modernised and the views are excellent with a double bedroom. The ground floor flat has a large store room entering to a 15' sitting room, opening to a kitchen/dining area, altogether a large open-plan space which then connects to a double bedroom with ensuite shower. This property is allocated a section of garden to the front south side and the northern stable boxes to the front of the site are to be demolished and this property will have two allocated car parking spaces.
The third section of the property is a building plot with full planning permission SDNP/20/01820/Ful to convert four stables into a detached two-bedroom bungalow, which has a renewed permission granted by Lewes District Council. The bungalow, for which plans are available, will be sold after a buyer is in place for the Windmill, or could be purchased together with an ‘eye' for future development. The property is sold with an area of ground for development for a patio seating area and off-road parking for two vehicles.
The property has been a family residence for many years and used as a racing stables with apartments for separate living. It borders onto the vast and beautiful expanse of the South Downs, walking for miles up and beyond Lewes Old Racecourse to Ditchling Beacon on the South Downs Way. If equestrian use is continued to be sought, a parcel of three acres can be purchased for riding out above Houndean Rise to the west of the property. Spital Road is a private lane off Western Road to the west of Lewes High Street and is thus a 15-20 minute walk to the heart of Lewes' historic town centre. The town has a plethora of period buildings, individual shops, public houses, cafes and restaurants, as well as three superstores. To the south of the High Street is the attractive period Southover area and Lewes Railway Station (London Victoria 65 mins & London Bridge 90 mins). The property is well located for easy access onto the A27/A23 to Brighton and Hove city, the universities, Gatwick and London.
