Plot 119, Annington Farm, Bramber, West Sussex BN44
Guide Price: £8,000+*
Own a piece of the South Downs. A freehold plot of about 811 sq m (0.20 acres) in open pasture at Annington Farm, on the west bank of the River Adur, between Bramber and Botolphs.
The Land
Plot 119 is one of a number of marked-out strips in a pasture field at Annington Farm. It is a strip about 56 m long and 16 m wide, extending to approximately 811 sq m (0.20 acres) as measured on Promap, subject to measured survey. It is registered with title absolute under title number WSX268808 and is sold freehold with vacant possession on completion. A positioning plan, checked against the HM Land Registry title plan, is available.
The title includes the benefit of a right to use the existing water supply and a right of way over the entrance road, as set out in a 1971 conveyance, and is subject to rights for drainage and services to neighbouring cottages. An option to purchase dated 28 May 2004 is still noted on the register; it was exercisable within 8 years. Full details are in the legal pack.
Planning and Flood Risk
The land is within the South Downs National Park, and the South Downs National Park Authority is the planning authority. Any building, change of use, caravan or fencing is likely to need consent. The Adur valley floor is functional floodplain, and the plot is expected to be in Flood Zone 3. The plot is offered as amenity and leisure land only, and no development prospects are promised. Buyers should take their own advice before bidding.
The Location
Annington Farm lies in the Adur valley, where the South Downs Way crosses the river at Botolphs. The plot sits in open pasture with views of the Downs on both sides of the valley. Bramber, with its castle ruins, and the market town of Steyning are about a mile to the north; Upper Beeding is across the river; and Shoreham-by-Sea and the coast are about 4 miles to the south. The A283 runs along the southern edge of the field.

Plot 119 will be offered at Palace Auctions London's live and online auction in the St James Room at Claridge's, Brook Street, Mayfair, London W1K 4HR, in December 2026 at 1.00 pm, unless sold prior.
