Summary - 19 THE LOOKOUT PEACEHAVEN BN10 8AA
6 bed 2 bath Detached
Substantial development and renovation potential with striking countryside views.
Over three-acre plot with paddocks, stables, garage and workshop
This rare three-acre plot on the edge of the South Downs pairs a large six-bedroom detached house with paddocks, stables, garage and workshop. The site sits in a rural setting yet remains only a seven-minute drive from the A259 coast road, with long-range views to Seaford Head and Firle Beacon.
The main house, formerly two semi-detached properties, extends to about 2,114 sq ft and requires full updating. Heating is by electric storage heaters, walls are likely uninsulated solid brick, and outbuildings (stable block, office, tack rooms) also need renovation. Broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is described as quite expensive.
For developers or investors the plot offers clear potential: there is lapsed planning (Lewes District Council ref LW/13/0838) for a detached four-bedroom house, and other development concepts have been informally explored. A further four acres of paddocks are available separately by treaty, increasing scope for subdivision or equine uses.
Buyers should factor renovation costs, gradual access via a track from Telscombe Road/Roderick Avenue North, and the rural utilities and services limitations when assessing value. Flood risk is low and the location benefits from direct bridlepath access into the South Downs and nearby villages.
