Land

A rare and fantastic development opportunity in an unrivalled position with panoramic views being sited on Pitch Hill with some amazing views to the South Downs. The Lake House is set in nearly 30 acres with 3 small lakes, a listed boat house, planning for a 3700 sq ft property over 2 floors, planning for a barn/office, wood store and a detached garage. The original consent has been implemented and part constructed with the floor slab in situ and steel structure having been erected. The owner then decided to submit a further planning application for an altered design and we are advised by him that planning will be granted for the second design by way of a delegated decision which is due imminently (Waverley Planning Ref. 2021/0324). Alternatively, the ultimate buyer could carry on with the original consent or make their own application. The original Lake House (a bungalow) was built in the 1950’s to take advantage of the magnificent position and southerly views. Accessed via a short winding drive the siting of the house sits very positively within its own land having no near neighbours and is just above a gentle slope leading down to the lake with its historic boathouse offering an opportunity to create a study/office with access to the boat below. Up a track behind the house site is a paddock with planning to build a detached barn and there is an area for a detached triple garage.
