About this property

A very rare opportunity to acquire an exciting development opportunity in this highly sought-after Village, with good local amenities and primary school.

Conversion of these redundant barns to a single residential dwelling together with secondary barn/ancillary accommodation and associated landscaping has been granted by Wealden DC under Planning Reference WD/2022/1491/F
The site comprises two barns with a large Dutch barn style building which historically formed part of a riding school, part of the surviving features of the former estate at Searles.
The barns are set within a spacious, verdant plot, predominantly comprising grassland with trees throughout and a pond towards the northern boundary. The existing larger building is rectangular in footprint and measures approximately 12m in width and 30m in length, with an eaves height of 4.5m. It comprises a timber frame resting on a low brick plinth and is clad in horizontal timber weatherboarding with a curved corrugated metal roof.
The building is currently used for agricultural storage and the existing concrete slab floor appears to have been installed following the conversion of the building from a riding school to agricultural usage.
The proposed new 2 storey residence will afford spacious, flexible accommodation of approx. 7500sqft with 5/6 bedrooms and integral Double Garage all set in a secluded position on this idyllic lane.
The secondary barn may only be used for ancillary accommodation and shall not be occupied as a separate dwelling unit in accordance with the planning consent.
Hamptons in conjunction with our Land affiliates, SJD, are pleased to bring this property to the market and viewing is very strictly by prior appointment.
