A rural development site offering outstanding views across open countryside. The opportunity is split into 3 separate lots, as listed below, all of which are reached via an access road leading off the northbound A24 at Basing Hill.
DETAILS The site occupies a discreet and attractive rural position at Lower Perrylands Farm, located to the south-west of Dial Post in West Sussex. Set within a generous plot and surrounded by open countryside, the site offers a peaceful edge-of-settlement setting while maintaining convenient access to the wider road network. The surrounding area is characterised by a mix of agricultural land and substantial detached residential properties, creating a low-density and well established rural context.
Immediately opposite the site access road lies Old Barn Garden Centre and Nurseries, a well-regarded destination offering a farm shop-style retail experience alongside a popular café and restaurant.
Dial Post itself is a small rural hamlet within Horsham District, positioned along the A24 corridor between Horsham and Worthing. The village is modest in size, offering a village green and local pub, but benefits from close proximity to a range of nearby settlements including Ashington, and Southwater, which provide a wider selection of everyday amenities, local shops, schools and community facilities. Larger brands, including Waitrose, can found in the larger nearby towns of Storrington and Horsham.
PLANNING AND FURTHER INFORMATION Planning permission has been granted by Horsham District Council under reference DC/25/1439 for the demolition of existing agricultural buildings and the erection of three substantial detached dwellings, together with associated access, parking, landscaping and infrastructure (Lot 1).
The approved scheme provides for high-quality family homes in a well-considered layout, designed in response to the site's rural context. Full details of the planning consent are available via the local planning authority website or within the data room.
Lot 2 comprises an existing small barn which may offer potential for conversion or extension to residential use, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
Lot 3 extends to approximately 16 acres of adjoining land. This land is not considered suitable for residential development but may be used for ancillary purposes, such as equestrian or smallholding, to complement the proposed residential use.
