Description
A semi-detached house to aspire to, constructed of traditional brick elevations that have been in part rendered and colour washed, all under a pitched pantile roof.
Presented for sale in fabulous order, this charming family home has been extended by the present owners to create a beautifully crafted kitchen/day room which in turn has created further space for a ground floor utility area as well as a shower room with WC. The well balanced open plan accommodation that runs throughout the ground floor is tastefully presented in a light and bright décor with engineered oak flooring and a feature fireplace with a multi fuel burner inset. On the first floor, the Bath/Shower Room has been recently reworked with a suite of bath, shower, WC and hand wash basin. Believed to have been constructed in the 1950s, this property offers considerable scope to enhance the accommodation further with potential to adapt the single third bedroom/Study into a stairwell to the roof void and fashion a further bedroom via a loft conversion - this all subject to achieving the appropriate planning and building consent. A new boiler was fitted a year ago.
Outside: The deceptively spacious private rear garden is well planned with close boarded panel fencing providing a high degree of seclusion, laid to broad paved flagstones for ease of maintenance. There is a garden studio, presently used as a gym, which could however easily become a home office or indeed be used for ancillary accommodation. There is access to the detached single garage with electric light and power. The front garden has been adapted for parking creating expansive off road parking for 2/3 vehicles. To the side elevation (west) there is a driveway and pedestrian access to the rear garden and garage. All mains services are connected to the property with gas fired central heating serving panel radiators. An immediate inspection of this truly inspiring property is unhesitatingly recommended by Rowland Gorringe Lewes office.
Location
Winterbourne Close is a highly sought after residential cul-de-sac conveniently located to the south/west of Lewes town centre, within an immediate level walk of the Winterbourne convenience store and the Southover C of E Primary School. Lewes is affectionately described as a small town with a big heart. Historians believe the name derives from the Old English ‘hlaews’ (‘hills’ or ‘mounds’) as Lewes is built into the slopes either side of the Ouse Valley. It was here that Simon de Montfort fought the Battle of Lewes against the King and where Tom Paine, author of ‘The Rights of Man’ once lived. Lewes has long been known for its spirit of independence and the inhabitants are proud of its significant history stretching back to Saxon times. There are lots of things to do in and around the county town. Lewes is a great place to shop with so many independent, antique and quirky shops. It’s also the perfect place to stop for a bite to eat or a drink in one of the eclectic number of pubs. Lewes also boasts a working brewery situated in the heart of the community on the banks of the Ouse. Commuters abound with mainline railway station (London/Victoria just over the hour) found at the bottom of Station Street, which in turn leads off the High Street. There are three supermarkets, the acclaimed independent Depot cinema, leisure centre, tertiary college, along with well attended primary and senior schools. The Universities of Sussex and Brighton and the coast at Brighton are found 6 and 9 miles away respectively and the famous Glyndebourne Opera House is about 4 miles away on the outskirts of Ringmer. The Downs and local countryside are a paradise for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers. Lewes is situated just off the South Downs way and within the magnificent South Downs National Park.
