Location
Lewes is the county town of East Sussex, nestled within the South Downs National Park, with a direct fast train service to London. The town offers an excellent range of shops including Costa Coffee, Boots, two prime supermarkets, Waitrose, and Tesco, along with a variety of independent medieval and Georgian high street shops. Additionally, Lewes offers a wide range of popular cafés, old inns, and restaurants as well as a farmer's market held the first weekend of every month. High quality sports facilities including pool, track and tennis courts, as well as County and Regional teams representing Football, Rugby, Cricket and Hockey, offering great opportunities for adults and children alike, all within easy walking distance of the property. Highly regarded primary schools are an easy walk as are Priory Secondary School, Sussex Downs College and Lewes Old Grammar School.
Description
The subject property is arranged over two floors, with the first floor flat being sold off on a long lease. The ground floor retail premises are let to Oxfam and consist of two shops, which have been combined into one but potentially, if the property became vacant, these can be converted back into two premises again. In our opinion, the rental income could be improved and our estimation is that it would fall in the region of £30,000pax.
