DESCRIPTION: A prime development site with planning permission to build 9 luxury detached individual designed houses.
The site is circa 1.5 acres (TBV) and currently has far reaching views to the coast and South Downs National Park.
Bespoke developers could very easily attain up to £500 per square foot with the correct specifications of build quality and internal styling.
Each of the 9 plots have been allocated good sized gardens and all have in addition to the main square footage garaging in the planning designs.
LOCATION: This generous sized circa 1.5 acre (TBV) site (to be verified) is situated in a semi-rural area with far reaching views between Eastbourne and Hailsham near the village of Hankham.
There is a main bus route beyond the development land site entrance. Furthermore, the mainline train stations of Polegate and Eastbourne are within convenient driving distance, making this development land a perfect site on which to build 9 luxury bespoke houses specifically for London commuters.
Local facilities for this development land can be found at Hankham with the large bespoke shopping and garden centre. More comprehensive shopping can be found at Hailsham with Waitrose and Tesco’s, as well as other main high street names. Eastbourne also offers a large shopping centre, as well as the leisure facilities of golf, sailing and walking on the South Downs.
Depending upon educational requirements, there are numerous renowned teaching institutions to choose from within the general locality, including Eastbourne College, Bede’s, Battle Abbey, Mayfield School for Girls and Skippers Hill to name but a few.
This development land is well suited for London commuters, as well as those from the city of Brighton, who generally are prepared to pay a premium for a more bespoke development site specifically with the potential this development land offers.
GDV (Gross development values for the site).
The general values for good non high-density housing starts at around £450 per square foot, although we feel that when compared to other similar bespoke development land, £500 per square foot is viable, as long as the quality of build and standard of interior finish is to a good specification.
