Description

LAND AND BARN AVAILABLE - SUBJECT TO PLANNING

An exciting opportunity to acquire a parcel of land extending to approximately 0.25 acres, situated within a desirable rural setting on a quiet lane. The site includes a substantial two-storey barn offering excellent potential for redevelopment, making it an ideal prospect for developers or buyers seeking a project with future value.

The existing two-storey barn provides a solid footprint and offers scope for conversion or change of use, subject to the necessary planning permissions. With power and water already connected to the structure, the property presents a practical starting point for redevelopment. The surrounding area has seen previous planning approvals granted, suggesting strong potential for similar schemes, making this an appealing opportunity for those looking to expand or diversify their portfolio.

The plot itself extends to around a quarter of an acre, offering a manageable yet versatile space. The rural positioning ensures a peaceful and private environment, while still allowing for creative development potential, whether that be a residential conversion or alternative use (subject to planning).

Despite its idyllic rural setting, the property is conveniently located within walking distance of Heathfield town centre, offering an excellent balance between countryside tranquillity and everyday accessibility. Heathfield provides a wide range of amenities including supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, and restaurants, along with well-regarded schooling for all ages. The surrounding area is well known for its beautiful Sussex countryside, with numerous walking and riding routes nearby. For commuters, there is easy access to the A21, while nearby mainline stations at Stonegate and Buxted offer regular services into London, making this an ideal location for those seeking a quieter lifestyle without compromising on connectivity.

Please note that an AML fee is chargeable to the buyer once an offer is accepted to cover the cost of carrying out the required identity and anti-money laundering checks. Once these checks have been completed, the fee cannot be refunded, even if the property purchase does not go ahead.
