DESCRIPTION: An opportunity to acquire an interesting parcel of land extending to approximately 1.722 acres (TBV), situated in a rural position off Hackhurst Lane in Lower Dicker.
The land is approached from Hackhurst Lane via a track and is enclosed by established boundaries, with gated access.
The property also benefits from its own water supply derived from a natural spring, while its rural setting offers a good degree of privacy and seclusion.
The land may appeal to purchasers seeking land for recreational, amenity, storage or other purposes, subject to obtaining any necessary planning permissions or other consents.
Despite its countryside setting, the site is conveniently positioned for access to the A22, providing connections towards Hailsham, Eastbourne and the surrounding areas.

PLANNING & SITE HISTORY: Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries with the relevant local planning authority regarding any intended use or future development of the site.
We understand that the land was historically used as a household landfill site until approximately the 1950s. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the site's history, condition and suitability for their intended use and obtain any specialist reports they consider necessary.
