About this home
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 sense of history and character, providing a tranquil setting that is ideal for walkers, cyclists and anyone who enjoys the outdoors.
The cottage has recently been renovated and offers well-presented accommodation throughout. A spacious open plan sitting and dining room leads through to the fitted kitchen, while the ground floor also benefits from a double bedroom, a cloakroom and a useful study area. Upstairs are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The property is approached via a long driveway that winds across the South Downs to a gated entrance, creating a lovely sense of arrival. To the front is a parking area and a small courtyard garden, which takes full advantage of the spectacular surrounding views and offers scope for further landscaping if desired.
