The Street, Firle

Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to offer this rarely available vacant 3-storey semi-detached house of the Victorian era. Scaynes is a substantial property requiring modernisation and has 3 double bedrooms to the second floor with potential for an extra bathroom. The first floor has a bayed principal bedroom/second sitting room along with a further double bedroom, shower room and separate wc. The ground floor entrance hall leads to a 26' sitting room with fireplace and bay window. The kitchen/breakfast room requires modernisation but is light and bright and opens onto a walled garden with 3 garden stores. The house has original period features and benefits from oil fired central heating.

Properties in the village of Firle rarely become available on the open market, largely being part of Firle Estate. The property is located between the recreation ground and the popular local pub, The Ram Inn, and the village shop next to the church. Firle is a peaceful and fine community village just to the east of Lewes town and with easy access via the A27 to Glynde Railway Station (services to Brighton and London). Firle is close to Glyndebourne Opera House and Charlston Manor as well as an easy drive to the south coast.
