DESCRIPTION
A rare opportunity to acquire an attractive parcel of land, together with a substantial detached agricultural barn extending to approximately 3,095 square feet.
The barn represents a particularly appealing feature of the property and may offer potential, subject to obtaining all necessary planning permissions and consents, for conversion to a residential dwelling or potentially an AOC dwelling. There may also be scope for alternative commercial or leisure uses, subject to planning.
The surrounding land comprises predominantly grazing and agricultural land and would be well suited to the keeping of livestock, equestrian or agricultural purposes, or the growing of crops.
The property's attractive rural setting, within convenient reach of the South Downs and the Sussex coast, may also lend itself to leisure-related opportunities such as glamping or other tourism uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.
The land enjoys impressive, far-reaching countryside views and provides an excellent opportunity for purchasers seeking land with a substantial existing agricultural building in a desirable East Sussex location.

LOCATION: The property is situated in an attractive rural location between Wartling and Boreham Street, within convenient driving distance of the mainline railway stations at Battle and Polegate.
The popular village of Herstmonceux is only a short drive away and offers a good range of everyday amenities, including a post office, pharmacy, doctors' surgery, restaurants, convenience shopping, primary school, public house and coffee shop.
A regular bus service also provides connections towards Battle, Hailsham, Hastings and Eastbourne.

LAND
The land comprises predominantly grazing/agricultural land with established natural boundaries and mature hedging.
The land would be suitable for a variety of agricultural, grazing or equestrian purposes and enjoys attractive views over the surrounding countryside.
Purchasers should refer to the selling agent's boundary plan for the extent of Lot 1.

BARN
Within the northern part of the property is a substantial detached agricultural barn extending to approximately 3,095 square feet at ground-floor level.
The barn is positioned within easy reach of the road and is approached via the property's access.
Given its size, position and attractive rural outlook, the building may have potential for conversion to a residential dwelling or an AOC dwelling, subject in all cases to the necessary planning permissions and other statutory consents.
There may also be potential for other agricultural, commercial or leisure-related uses, again subject to planning.
The barn enjoys particularly attractive and far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.
