Description

LOCATION
The property is located within the rural village of Burwash, set well back from the high street and accessed off a private shared drive, which leads from a no-through lane.

Burwash is approximately 5.3 miles to the north-west of Robertsbridge and 6.2 miles to the north-east of Heathfield.

A mainline railway station at Stonegate (3.9 miles) provides regular and direct train services into London Charing Cross, with journey times taking approximately 70 minutes.

DESCRIPTION
The property currently comprises a traditional Grade II Listed barn of brick and weatherboard elevations beneath a peg tile roof and an adjacent open-fronted garage of brick and weatherboard elevations beneath a peg tile roof.

The previously granted planning permission for two detached residential dwellings (ref: RR/2020/1520/P) lapsed in October 2024. The vendors have subsequently employed an architect to prepare alternative plans for a single four-bedroom dwelling, however, a new planning application has not been submitted.

Access is via a shared private drive leading from Ham Lane.
