DESCRIPTION: A rare chance to purchase prime village development land that has already been granted full planning permission for a bespoke select development of just three properties. This fabulous development opportunity, is located on the outskirts of Herstmonceux village, as well as being situated currently in what could be felt to be an almost semi-rural setting, in addition to benefitting from delightful southerly rural views towards the South Downs National Park.

The existing planning permission recently granted by Wealden District Council on an appeal can be found in full detail of the Wealden planning website using the reference WD/2021/2197/F

Presently there is permission for a detached four bedroomed chalet bungalow, which will be offered with a slightly larger garden area possibly than the current plans show. In addition to the detached four bedroomed chalet bungalow, there is also planning permission for a pair of attractive two double bedroomed semi detached cottages arranged over two floors. However, there may be future potential, subject to planning to possibly convert the loft area into further ancillary accommodation.

In our opinion, and specifically based on the recent selling prices which the NEVILLE AND NEVILLE LAND & NEW HOMES DEPARTMENT has achieved for similar new build village development sites, we believe currently there is an estimated GDV (Gross development value of circa £1,300,000 to £1,500,000, especially due to the very desirable location of this site and the overall combined accommodation being offered within the current planning permission designs.
LOCATION: This very desirable development land which currently has planning permission for three bespoke properties, is situated on the very outskirts of the Herstmonceux village, with its entrance being set off West End betwixt Stunts Green and Herstmonceux. Behind the development land are beautiful rural view, with the village centre and all of its excellent amenities, within easy walking distance.

Herstmoncuex castle and the observatory are also with only a short drive. The country towns of Battle and Hailsham are also within a short drive, with main bus routes also going through the village to these destinations.

Commuters for the city can choose from a variety of mainline stations to reach London, including Crowhurst, Battle, Polegate and Stonegate. All of which have made Herstmonceux a highly sought-after village for London buyers looking to relocate.

Hailsham town offers a surprising amount of shopping facilities, including, a Waitrose, a large Tesco, and other supermarkets, in addition to a cinema and a large leisure centre with swimming pool. Beyond this country town, there are numerous golf and tennis clubs and opportunities for cycling, riding and walking in the countryside.
