- 15.73 acres
Description
Last occupied in the late 1990s, Brookside Farm presents an exciting opportunity. The holding comprises a former nursery and piggery unit together with two derelict dwellings and a range of farm buildings set within a peaceful rural situation, with road frontage along the C7 Lewes Road and accessed directly off it.
The land extends to approximately 15.73 acres, incorporating pasture, woodland and rewilded scrubland. The combination of habitats lends the property considerable natural interest, whilst the former farm buildings and derelict dwellings may offer a potential development opportunity, subject to all the necessary planning consents.
The property borders the Ouse river on its west and is categorised as Flood Zone 3 by the Environment Agency.
