Description

A charming three-bedroom character cottage situated in an exceptional rural position on the South Downs, within the historic grounds of the former Lewes Racecourse. Enjoying a peaceful elevated setting with far-reaching countryside views and direct access to bridleways, footpaths and cycle routes, the property offers the best of country living while being just a short distance from Lewes High Street and the mainline railway station.

Set within the former Lewes Racecourse, an iconic location with origins dating back to the 1700s, the property is surrounded by the beautiful landscape of the South Downs National Park. Although the final race took place in 1964, the area retains its unique history and character, providing a tranquil setting ideal for walkers, cyclists and those who enjoy the outdoors.

Converted approximately two years ago, the property has been thoughtfully designed to retain its individual character, with features including exposed pipework, exposed beams and brickwork, rubber flooring and cork tiling. The light and flexible accommodation is arranged over two floors and comprises a sitting room opening into a study area, a spacious kitchen/dining room and a family bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, offering versatile accommodation for families, guests or those working from home.

The property is approached via a long driveway across the South Downs, leading to a gated entrance. To the front is a parking area and a courtyard garden enjoying spectacular countryside views. The property also offers potential for further extension, subject to the necessary planning consents.
