About this property

DESCRIPTION

The Estate is set within the tranquil elevated grounds of the former Lewes Racecourse, an iconic location with roots dating back to the 1700s. The final race was held in 1964 but the area remains steeped in history and character.

Today this elevated setting offers sweeping 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.

The agent hasn't said which band this home is in; you can look it up on GOV.UK. In Lewes, 2026/27 bills run from £1,837 a year in band A to £5,512 in band H.

Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across Lewes, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone.
