A Charming Two-Bedroom Character Cottage Within The Historic Grounds Of The Former Lewes Racecourse

A charming two-bedroom character cottage situated in an exceptional rural position on the South Downs, within the historic grounds of the former Lewes Racecourse. Enjoying a peaceful elevated setting with far-reaching countryside views and direct access to bridleways, footpaths and cycle routes, the property offers the perfect balance of countryside living while being just a short distance from Lewes High Street and the mainline railway station.

Set within the former Lewes Racecourse, an iconic location with origins dating back to the 1700s, the property is surrounded by the beautiful landscape of the South Downs National Park. Although the final race took place in 1964, the area retains its unique history and character, providing a tranquil setting ideal for walkers, cyclists and those who enjoy the outdoors.

Recently renovated throughout, the property offers well-presented accommodation with a spacious dual-aspect sitting room enjoying plenty of natural light. This leads through to the entrance hall, which is currently arranged as a useful study area. To the rear, the well-designed fitted kitchen features concrete-effect worktops, ample storage, and integrated appliances including a washing machine and dishwasher.

Upstairs, there are two good-sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom fitted with both a walk-in shower and a bath. The principal bedroom enjoys a triple aspect, making the most of the spectacular surrounding countryside views.
The property is approached via a long driveway across the South Downs, leading to the entrance. To the front is a parking area and a courtyard garden overlooking the surrounding countryside, offering potential for further landscaping if desired, while a second private courtyard to the rear provides an additional outdoor seating area.
