Description
Tucked away in an area of outstanding natural beauty, Rhylstone and The Totalisator Building form part of the Lewes Old Racecourse, enjoying exquisite views of patchwork Downland hills on all sides. The property, which includes a house and stable block, has been granted planning permission to transform into a contemporary detached family home. The Totalisator Building, a 6,000 sq ft open-plan brick, steel, and timber structure, has also been granted permission to become a cafe with a gallery and holiday-let dwelling. The property is set in a prime location in East Sussex, just five minutes' drive from Lewes, and is surrounded by rolling hills and countryside. The house is deceptively spacious, with a line of sight through the property to the exceptional living room, which boasts large arched windows and a mid-century style fireplace. The garden is large and lawned, facing west to enjoy the best views over the rolling Downland hills. The property has huge scope for landscaping and ample space for ball games or children's play equipment. The stable block has planning permission to be converted for habitable use, linking through to the main building or kept for equestrian requirements.
