Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
Situated in a fine position on School Hill in Lewes High Street, close to Lewes House. The property has views to Cuilfail, Lewes Golf Course with the South Downs beyond, down School Hill and to South Downs to the rear. The property is in a prime commercial position, close to the Eastgate shopping centre, car parking and Waitrose superstore, thus being a highly convenient and attractive living location within Lewes' historic core with period buildings, public houses, cafes and restaurants. The property is a five minute walk to the mainline Railway Station (London Victoria approx. 1 hour & London Bridge).
Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents present this attractive period property, currently a lock-up shop to the High Street with lower ground floor below for potential further commercial use and/or storage. Above the commercial section is a spacious and attractive three bedroom residence, in essence a house, with potential internal access to the shop as required, allowing either independence or live/work. Behind the property is an independent one bedroom annex with separate access via the side arch with a most attractive walled garden and outbuilding. This annex has been newly converted and could be used for a family member, as a separate workplace or let.
