Land for sale

7-9, West Street, Lewes, East Sussex BN7

This attractive Grade II listed property is believed to have been constructed in the early 20th century, by the Lewes Co Operative Society and was used originally as a retail store with offices. The building comprises traditional building materials and includes a feature clock tower on the southern elevation.

Wallis & Wallis acquired the building in the 1980s and used it as an Auction House successfully until its recent relocation. It comprises a mix of areas over basement and two upper floors including the large ground floor auction room, additional vaulted showrooms with wooden feature staircases, offices (with spiral staircase), large secure basement, WC's and kitchen with serving hatch. The building has a wealth of original features throughout.

The space within the property lends itself to a variety of potential uses, subject to any necessary consents.

A separate piece of land in Edward Street behind the main building, included within the title, provides car spaces for 4-8 vehicles.
