South Street, Lewes

Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to introduce a a rare and exceptional opportunity to acquire a beautifully situated riverbank mooring on a peaceful and picturesque stretch of the tidal River Ouse, just a short walk from the historic centre of Lewes. Nestled beneath the iconic chalk cliffs and opposite a designated nature reserve, this idyllic mooring offers privacy, tranquility, and unique natural surroundings.

Accessed via a discreet wooden gate and a charming pathway sheltered by a tunnel of mature vegetation, gravel steps lead down to a 16-metre grassed embankment. The mooring includes a hinged metal walkway with solid wood deck decking and a metal handrail, providing secure access to an exceptional Canadian timber pontoon, designed to accommodate vessels up to 12 metres in length. The pontoon remains afloat at all states of tide.

An outstanding mooring opportunity on the Lower Ouse, this plot features a high-quality, professionally constructed pontoon of the kind typically installed in rowing clubs. The original, dilapidated fittings were carefully removed to allow for the installation of this substantial, premium structure. It is the only pontoon of its kind on the Lower Ouse, offering both exclusivity and durability.

This mooring is ideal for discerning boat owners seeking a secure, well-built, and long-lasting solution in a truly sought-after riverside setting.
Granted planning permission in 2006 for leisure use (please note: no existing permission for residential use), and with no utilities currently connected, the site is perfect for a wide range of recreational activities fishing, boating, or simply enjoying the serene riverside atmosphere. Wildlife in the area includes falcons, herons, kingfishers, egrets, owls, swans, ducks, and sea trout creating a vibrant and natural riverside retreat.
