Description
The Southover Building dates from the early 1900s along with various later additions and currently forms part of the Lewes campus of the East Sussex College. Until recently, the property was in academic use by the College but has now been assessed as surplus to operational needs. The disposal forms part of a wider estates strategy that will see significant reinvestment into the remainder of the College’s Lewes campus, which is located on the other side of Mountfield Road.
As well as the existing built form, the site includes hardstanding/car parking and significant area of landscaping to the southern boundary.
Location
The property is located on the southern edge of the historic county town of Lewes, East Sussex less than a mile from the A27 and 220 metres from Lewes Railway station with direct services to Brighton (17 minutes), London Victoria (1 hour 11 minutes) and Gatwick Airport (33 minutes).
Lewes is a highly regarded town located within the South Downs National Park and provides a full range of shopping, leisure and other amenities. Immediately adjacent to the site is Priory School Lewes (11-16 mixed comprehensive school) and beyond that the Lewes Leisure Centre.
