DESCRIPTION
An exciting opportunity to acquire a plot of approximately 2 acres situated in a highly accessible position fronting Bolney Road in the sought-after village of Cowfold. The site benefits from change of use of Agricultural building to single-storey dwelling, offering an attractive development opportunity in a desirable semi-rural setting.
The approved scheme provides for a well-designed one-bedroom residence with a separate study, all arranged on one level. The plot enjoys a pleasant position bordering the road whilst offering a generous landholding.
The new access will be within the field for sale with the barn which will skirt the hedgerow and then carry on to the field shown in green, known as the oak plantation. This will allow access to the Q barn, but will be within the acreage being sold with the barn.
OUTSIDE
The property currently does not benefit from its own direct vehicular access from Bolney Road. However, the current owner will permit temporary shared use of their existing driveway to facilitate site access and construction works whilst planning consent is obtained for a separate permanent access.
There is currently no Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) payable on the plot. Prospective purchasers are advised to contact the selling agents to discuss any applicable covenants and further planning information.
