Description
Tucked away in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the Totaliser Building and three adjoining cottages at Lewes Old Racecourse offer a unique opportunity for developers and investors. The building, which spans approximately 6,000 square feet, has planning permission to be converted into a cafe with a gallery and holiday-let dwelling, providing a generous income. The property also includes three cottages, each with its own garden and parking, which are currently let for long-term residential use. The property is situated in a prime location in East Sussex, just five minutes' drive from Lewes, and enjoys exquisite views of the patchwork Downland hills on all sides. The property has a rich history, having been used as a racecourse from 1840 to 1964, and is now a popular spot for equestrian use. The vendor is looking for a buyer who will preserve the heritage of the racecourse and the land, and who will develop the property in a way that respects its unique character.
