3 bed detached house for sale

Station Road, Berwick, East Sussex BN26

A delightful village property affording immense potential. Of interest to developers, families, smallholders, lifestyle and equestrian enthusiasts. Approx 3 acres. Berwick Station within short walking distance. Edge of South Downs National Park with access to fantastic walking and riding trails and cycling routes.

There is great potential to update and extend the property either by converting the spacious loft area or by extending the property on the ground floor subject to obtaining the necessary consents. There is also potential, we believe, to redevelop the site and construct additional dwellings, again subject to obtaining the relevant planning consents. The large and level adjoining paddock was once, we are advised, the site of commercial greenhouses which produced peaches supplied to Fortnum & Mason but now might be suitable for a variety of other purposes including equestrian, commercial or simply as a wild life habitat. Only an inspection will convey the potential and high appeal of this delightful village property.

The property is enviably situated adjacent to scenic countryside and yet within easy reach of Berwick railway station which is only about 100 meters distant and provides railway services to London Victoria and Gatwick airport. The Cuckmere valley and adjacent South Downs National Park is just to the south and provides excellent outdoor recreational opportunities. The historic downland village of Alfriston provides a village store as well as a variety of restaurants including the renowned Star Inn. The coastal town of Eastbourne and county town of Lewes are roughly equidistant and provide excellent schools for all ages including Eastbourne College and Lewes Old Grammar. Sporting facilities in the area include The David Lloyd centre at Eastbourne and South Downs sports centre at Lewes. There is world class opera at nearby Glyndebourne and channel ferries operate from Newhaven.
