DESCRIPTION: An extremely rare development opportunity that is a PIP (planning in principle) for the conversion of a generous sized detached agricultural barn to be turned into three terraced two bedroomed properties, which currently are set within circa 6.469 acres.
The fact that these proposed three two bedroomed properties are set within a 6.469 acre site, allows for the end price to be significantly higher on the resale values for a developer looking to achieve a good profit margin.
As the site has more than one gated access point, it easy to divide the land up between the units.
These type of residential semi-rural development projects do not often appear so close to the road and transport networks, which will also increase the end value due to their desirable commuting location, especially with the Polegate mainline train station so close by.
LOCATION: Situated off a quiet country lane near the towns of both Polegate and Hailsham, both of which offer shopping facilities, with although Hailsham town providing more extensive shopping facilities, including a variety of leisure activities with a large public gym and swimming pool complex, Polegate itself offers the popular mainline train station for London commuting. It is also within 6 miles of Eastbourne and its amenities.
There are numerous local well respected private and state schools within the area, including Bede’s, Eastbourne College and Mayfield School, to name but a few. As well as numerous local state primary schools.
SITE LAYOUT: There are two access gated points of the country lane, the first leading directly to the detached agricultural building, with the second gated access, a few hundred yards further up the lane.
All the land is level and fenced to allow for animals to graze. The land is understood to be circa 6.469 acres.
