House For Sale £800,000
Kingsmead Lodge is an attractive and individual single-storey dwelling believed to be of Victorian origin with later additions. The property has come to the market for the first time in close to 40 years and a buyer will see the opportunity to further modernise and improve, to take full advantage of the potential of this exceptional location and generous gardens. There is a modern boiler providing gas-fired central heating to radiators.
The property is located at the foot of Sopers Lane with a frontage to Maudlin Lane where it meets the South Downs National Park on the south-west side of Steyning in the Parish of Bramber. The property is about three-quarters of a mile from Steyning High Street with its shops and Post Office. It is also ideal as a family house as it is within walking distance of schools as well as the various sporting and cultural and other recreational facilities, of which there are almost a hundred in Steyning.
Steyning has a local by-pass which diverts through traffic from the town. Worthing and Brighton are eight and 12 miles respectively with Horsham about 14 miles to the north. Crawley and Gatwick Airport can normally be reached in about 40 minutes. The nearest main line railway station is at Shoreham-by-Sea (five miles).
