o Offers in Excess of: £200,000 for 4.5 acres

DESCRIPTION: This charming young fruit orchard that can be purchased either as a 3 acre or 4.5 acre parcel of land is idyllically laid out with an abundance of fruit trees and grass areas beyond.

The land has mature tree and hedge boundaries to parts and stock fencing to others. Although the land is ideal for fruit growing or even future wine growing if re planted with grape vines, the land could also be cleared for equine use if required.

The land will have an easement right to be accessed by vehicles from the gated access leading off from Cowbeech Road Mile lane.

LOCATION: The land is strategically situated between Rushlake Green and Cowbeech, as well as being with a short drive of both Herstmonceux and Heathfield.

The mainline trin station of Polegate is within about 20 minutes away, with the other mainline train stations of Battle and Stonegate also about 25 minutes drive away.
