Cockshut Road, Lewes

Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to announce the sale of Priory Wall House. This is a unique property in a very special location and plot. The property is approached via a wrought iron gate through an old flint wall bordering Cockshut Road, with an attractive south-west facing large lawned garden. The property has 2 sections to the north and south. The top section is currently 2 bedrooms with bathroom and shower room, a sitting room, family room and an adjoining kitchen. This area could easily be opened up into a large lounge/kitchen area overlooking the garden and the attractive central courtyard. The entrance hall is a link and the lower section is currently 2 large reception rooms, but it is likely to be considered, with perhaps an extension, a bedroom and bathroom area for perhaps 2-3 bedrooms and bathroom. Apart from the courtyard, there is an extremely large and attractive garden to the east which is private. This is a truly exciting property in a fine Southover location, perhaps likely to be developed into a contemporary unique property.

Priory Wall House is on Cockshut Road behind an attractive flint wall, just yards from Southover Church. Only a little further, there is Priory Crescent and Anne of Cleves House, and then in the other direction to the Southdown Tennis/ Sports club and the Priory Monastery Ruins, with excellent walks. Lewes Railway Station is only a 5 minute stroll with trains to London Victoria 1 hour, London Bridge 90 mins and Brighton 20 mins. Adjacent to the Railway Station there is the Depot cinema and Lewes High Street is just beyond with its historical amenities, period properties, independent shops, cafes and restaurants, as well as 3 supermarkets. Southover has further attractions including the Grange Gardens and the cobbled Keere Street.
