Anyone know what is happening on this ex pub. Used to be a have to do walk from Lewes. It must take great skill to ruin a pub like that, owner's wishes I suppose.

Get some decent ales and good food and the word will soon spread....good, home cooked food.
Then get the natives back onside...look after the locals aa they're your bread and butter.
Set up a darts and pool team (possibly a football team) and that'll be mid week taken care of.
Throw in a couple of quiz nights, maybe a raffle and add lots of hard work.
Always fancied running a pub but i'd be an alcoholic within 6 months.

The guys who have now won awards at The Roebuck looked at it years ago - but I heard the the lease was very expensive and the building is in need of tons of money spent. Can’t see who would ever take it on now. Sadly, racing favourite is years of descent to dereliction then demolishing then houses - it’s a big plot and of course right on the London line.

At Magham Down is a good example of converting a pub to housing.

I heard it was something to do about a dispute with the owners (Glynde Estate) as to who should pay for maintenance? Rich landowners screwing us over again...

It's owned by Firle estate, not Glynde. The building is riddled with rot and the cellar is by all accounts not infested with rats. Firle estate want any prospective tenant to pay to fix it up, nobody is crazy enough to do so. It'll sit empty until it falls down and they chuck some houses up where it stood.

That's good then. Why not appeal to Firle estate to do the decent thing - demolish and build social housing. Or maybe Glyndebourne would do the same, buying it off Firle and working with a Housing Assn. - better for the area than their virtue signalling wind turbine.

@Nope, wrong, I'm afraid. Glynde estates own it, not Firle. The part about the amount of work needed is nearer the mark, the estate requiring that any new Tennant's pay for repairs. I don't think it will open again...

I think it's absolutely crazy. I realise pubs are closing all around the country, but the ones that do it right are thriving.
Given its location - right next to a rail link to London and Brighton and in the middle of the South Downs - surely someone could turn this into a top notch pub/restaurant/boutique hotel with excellent food, a great range of ales & some rooms upstairs? Given that it has different sections you could keep one as a drinkers' room/pub to keep everyone happy.

I like the walk along the ouse to Hamsey church, the view from the top of the Castle, Pells pool, the antique shops and boot fair, the lion in the window of the 15c bookshop, keere street
