Full Description: <br /><br />A rare opportunity to aquire part of the Lewes former racecourse in a stunning elevated position with views of the South Downs. The Totaliser Building has various consents and has the potential to develop further (STP).<br /><br />DESCRIPTION<br />The Estate is set within the tranquil elevated grounds of the former Lewes Racecourse, an<br />iconic location with roots dating back to the 1700s. The final race was held in 1964 but the<br />area remains steeped in history and character. Today this elevated setting offers sweeping<br />countryside views within a wonderfully peaceful environment while remaining in easy reach of all the conveniences of town life. The location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts with direct access to a network of scenic footpaths, bridleways and cycle routes leading onto the heart of the South Downs National Park. Whether you are a avid walker, cyclist or nature lover the surrounding landscape offers endless opportunities to explore.<br />Formed from the historic ‘bookies halls’ which were converted into stables after the racecourse closed.<br /><br />The Totaliser Buiding now has consent for a mixture of F1(e) exhibition space, E(b) cafe use and a holiday cottage. Several exhibitions have been carried out within the building which is also operated as a cafe/bar providing refreshments<br />to local walkers, cyclists, riders and families. Stable doors have been retained catering<br />for equestian use to be resumed if desired. The commercial parts cover the footprint of 5<br />cottages with potential to increase the annual income and develop areas further (subject<br />to planning).<br /><br />OUTSIDE<br />The property is approached via a long driveway winding across the South Downs to the gated entrance. To the front is a parking area and a large garden laid to lawn ideal for outside entertaining.
