An individual 5 bedroom detached family home occupying a 0.5 acre corner plot within the Lewes Road conservation area on the town’s south eastern edge close to countryside, the hospital and within easy reach of the town centre, railway station and good schools. Offering tremendous potential for enlargement STPP.

The family have owned the property for 30 years and have cared well for the house which is presented in very clean and tidy order. However, it is of that age where some updating or reconfiguration could be beneficial to create the perfect family home.

The house sits on a fabulous plot with plenty of private driveway parking, a double garage and space to build a bigger garage with a flat/office above, if required STPP. There is a covenant on the land to say you cannot build more than one dwelling on the site – See link to Property Register Title

These covenants are quite common and can sometimes be lifted or bought out and there is tremendous scope to build another house or two in the gardens. However, our client is not remotely interested in entering into any offers conditional on the covenant being removed or planning consent being granted.
