DESCRIPTION: A rare chance to acquire a parcel of land that has been used continuously as a builder’s storage yard for circa 20 years and should therefore qualify for a lawful certificate of development if sought though a planning requirement. Our planners could obviously assist with this process if needed.

The site is accessed from a private lane via twin large metal commercial sized gates. The private lane leads off from the main road.

The yard has a hard standing entrance and both parking / storage areas to the front and side to the left side of the top half of the entire site. Also, on the top half of the site there are existing storage buildings and a further workshop, still currently being used for the storage of building equipment and building materials.

Additionally, the existing buildings on the site could be possibly traded off to be replaced with a more up to date commercial / agricultural building subject to planning.

LOCATION: Situated near Herstmonceux and located down a private lane only short distance from the main road.

The village of Herstmonceux has good local facilities, including a doctor’s surgery, a primary school, a pub and restaurant, as well as a coffee shop and more.

The road network is also ideal for accessing London and the south east for business logistics.
