This spacious detached home in Winterbourne Mews offers flexible family living across about 2,170 sq ft, arranged as 4/5 bedrooms and three bathrooms. Light-filled principal rooms include a large sitting room, separate dining room and a conservatory, while a modern kitchen/breakfast room with utility supports everyday family life. A ground-floor study with adjacent shower room provides practical home‑office use or a convenient guest/ground-floor bedroom.
Outdoor space is a genuine selling point: a large, private landscaped rear garden with two patios, mature planting and gated side access, plus a sweeping driveway and a double garage provide plenty of parking and storage. The cul-de-sac sits adjacent to Bell Lane Recreation Field and is an easy, pleasant walk — around eight minutes — to Lewes High Street and only 14 minutes to the mainline railway station.
Energy efficiency is aided by solar PV and an EPC rating of C, while double glazing and gas central heating are already installed. The property dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, so there is scope to modernise cosmetic elements and personalise finishes to current tastes. Buyers should note the council tax is described as quite expensive and the wider area records higher crime rates, which may influence running costs and perceptions of security.
Overall this home suits families who want space, privacy and convenient town access with strong local schooling and South Downs countryside on the doorstep. It will particularly appeal to buyers seeking a large, well-laid-out house they can update over time rather than a turnkey new-build.
