A rare freehold site within the South Downs National Park (SDNP) measuring approximately 4.32 acres. It has been in the same company ownership since 2000 and was originally used for the purpose of their own business. In past times the site operated as a sawmill and was also used in conjunction with a nearby lime works, however is now predominantly used for storage and workshop purposes. A couple of tenants lease parts of the site on an informal basis which generates an annual rental income of £21,200 (which we believe to be under-rented), and the occupiers have expressed an interest to remain in situ, in the event of a sale.

If the site is cleared there may be scope to reinstate an application for the lapsed consented building or to exploit the site for commercial purposes, subject to securing any necessary planning consents.
