Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to present this detached and extended family home, improved and modernised by the current owner. This property is one of 4 houses built in the 1980's, in a huge plot off the quiet and attractive Church Lane and set well back off the long driveway with excellent parking and having a long 200ft rear garden with the riverbank overlooking Lewes. The house has a magnificent and very large master bedroom (25' x 21') with balcony, large dressing area and a shower room. In addition, there are 3 further double bedrooms and a family bathroom, all of which have been modernised with a contemporary ensuite shower room. The ground floor is a very good size with a 27' x 23' ‘L' shaped living/family room with double doors opening to the garden. There is a fitted Alastair Fleming kitchen/breakfast room of solid oak and granite worktops, and an additional utility room. There are 2 large rooms to the front of the house with potential for plumbing for kitchen/shower room, giving easy potential for a ground floor annex with a separate entrance and connects to the main accommodation as well as a downstairs cloakroom. The garden is a magnificent 200ft, superbly planted and with a summerhouse, open garden sheltered area and child/dog secure upper garden with a meadow garden to the rear having exceptional views.
Riverdale is in a magnificent semi-rural location off a cul-de-sac, with a country lane feel, bordering onto the river and with the Parish Church and open fields beyond. Equally, at the start of Church Lane, there is a footpath leading to the Malling Brooks recreation ground that approaches Tesco and Aldi, and it is only a 10 minute walk to Lewes town centre. The property has excellent views over the town with the South Downs beyond. Lewes has a historic core with period buildings including the Norman Castle, clearly seen from the house and garden, as well as many independent shops, inns, cafés and restaurants and 3 superstores. Lewes Railway Station is just beyond, opposite the superb Depot Cinema, and has connections to London Victoria (1hr), London Bridge (90mins) and Brighton (15mins). Lewes has great walks close by, leading to the South Downs.
