An opportunity to purchase a six bedroom detached home in need of updating/renovation, adjacent to the South Downs National Park.
The property extends to in excess of three acres with stable block, office and tack rooms, all in need of renovation.

The plot is in a peaceful location only a 7-minute drive from the A259 coast road and has views to Seaford Head to the South and Firle Beacon to the North-West. There is direct access onto bridle paths leading out to the Piddinghoe Road and Telscombe Village to the West and the South Downs Way.
