The Drove, Lewes, BN8

Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to announce the marketing of this most interesting detached older style property in Hamsey, the original Gate House to the London railway line from Lewes-Haywards Heath-London. The property has 3 bedrooms and the bathroom on the first floor. The ground floor has the entrance hall, a downstairs cloakroom and a 22` full-width double sitting/dining room as well as a kitchen/breakfast room looking to the small front garden and lane. The house requires full modernisation, including improvement of heating. The property is set adjacent to the railway line with excellent views over countryside and to the South Downs. This is a large and rural plot which includes a large garage/workshop and further outbuilding.

This property is a rare opportunity to purchase.

Hamsey is an idyllic hamlet, an area joining Offham, via countryside, with its public house, parish church and service station. Cooksbridge, with its Railway Station (services to Lewes and London), is only one mile away and has a well considered primary school. The most attractive village of Barcombe is also close by with an excellent village shop, public house, sports/recreation ground and again, a well thought of primary school. Superb riverside, woodland and South Down walks can be enjoyed in the area. Mid Sussex is easy to reach via Chailey and Ditchling, and Lewes is only some 2 miles, thus walkable, with its historic town centre and an abundance of independent shops, 3 superstores, pubs, cafes and restaurants, as well as the excellent Depot Cinema.
