Features and description
Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to present this fine older style large detached chalet style property on the popular south side of the road. The property is considered a likely development opportunity, either for development of the back garden with modernisation of the property, or possible demolition of the property to create a cul-de-sac. The buyer will be asked to offer on this 180' x 100' plot for its best price, subject to an option to achieve planning permission in say, 12 months. The house is currently 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 reception room, kitchen/breakfast room and conservatory. The rear garden has superb easterly views across Lewes to the South Downs.
South Way is perhaps, the most popular road in the Nevill area, particularly the south side, with an easy 20 minute walk or bus ride into Lewes town centre and being on the edge of the South Downs for superb walks. The area is easily connected to the A27 Eastbourne/Brighton Road, and the A/M23 to Gatwick/London. The historic core of Lewes High Street has many period buildings and historical attractions including the Castle, as well as an excellent range of independent shops, 3 superstores, cafes, pubs and restaurants. The superb Depot Cinema is just to the south of the High Street along with the neighbouring Railway Station (London Victoria 65 mins, London Bridge 90 mins & Brighton 15 mins).

GARDENS
The property is approached from South Way on a pathway to the front and east side to the secondary kitchen entrance. Raised front lawn with attractive flower borders, sycamore tree and hedge. The driveway is to the north-west corner. Beyond the garage is a wide lawned garden to the west, also the obvious area for a driveway if the property were to remain and building development to be accessed to the rear of the plot. There are borders to the side. The garden is approximately 180' depth with 100' width. To the east elevation there is an integral outside store and a blocked additional door with the eastern pathway and garden. The rear garden has a central hedge and a superb view to the South Downs.
The owners and Agent believe there is potential for demolishing of the existing property, with potential for a cul-de-sac of houses with a central road, and the property is offered, likely to developers, as an option for offers to the owner to achieve planning permission in a limited time period of say 1 year.
