About this property

DESCRIP

TION 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.
