Description
This represents an unusual opportunity to acquire about 42 acres of mixed woodland in a glorious rural position adjacent to the Ashdown Forest. There is a large storage barn which is believed to have housed armoured tanks during the Second World War. The barn and land are served by hard surfaced roads and there are also a number of disused concrete bases. The woodland is a haven for wild life and borders the Forest, where there are extensive views.
The land falls within the Special Protection Area Housing Exclusion Zone. A small area is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Potential buyers, therefore, are advised to obtain planning advice or discuss any planned uses with the local authority, Wealden District Council (wealden.gov.uk)
144ft x 35ft steel framed tank barn, 15ft at eaves, plus brick store at one end.
Hard surfaced roads.
Various disused hard bases.
Water supply.
The land is freehold, available only in its entirety.
