Summary - Shortgate Lane, Lewes BN8 6DE
4 bed 2 bath Detached Bungalow
Versatile rural home with separate one-bed annexe and extensive outbuildings.
Extensive 4,073 sq ft single-storey accommodation across five buildings
Set on a substantial landscaped plot in Lewes (BN8), this single-storey bungalow offers exceptionally generous living space and flexible accommodation for family life. The main residence provides three double bedrooms and a large open-plan living area with vaulted ceilings and a wood-burning stove, while a self-contained one-bedroom annexe adds independent space for guests or extended family.
The property extends beyond the main house to include two garages, a powered workshop, a detached bar and a summer house — five buildings in total — giving scope for hobbies, storage or a rental income stream. A long gravel driveway and plentiful parking serve the site, and the overall layout suits multi-generational living or buyers seeking workspace alongside domestic accommodation.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average, so streaming and home-working may need alternative solutions. Council tax is above average and the property sits in a hamlet/isolated setting, so daily shops and services are not on the doorstep. There is no flood risk and the area records very low crime.
This home will suit families who value space, outdoor living and flexible use of outbuildings, or buyers seeking an executive rural base with potential for income from the annexe and outbuildings. It is offered freehold and presents an opportunity to personalise and update parts of the accommodation to taste.
