DESCRIPTION: An exciting development opportunity, which is currently a very attractive Sussex style large single storey detached possible class Q qualifying agricultural barn of circa 1,900 to 2,000 square feet and benefiting from being set within approximately 7.8 acres, also with the added benefit of 9 large commercial polytunnels, which could also have possible lawful permitted development for planning to be granted for a further agricultural building in their replacement subject to planning.
The existing property also is set in an elevated position with amazing rural views and is located in an area that is actually outside AONB, so therefore has class Q qualification opportunities, especially as neighbouring farm buildings have already qualified and have been converted. Therefore, making a precedent for this building to be converted into residential.
Currently this large attractive detached single storey bespoke built wooden barn on substantial concrete foundations (apparently to residential standards), and presently with planning permission that includes an office, staff area, storage rooms and plant machinery, currently with electric and water easements available to be connected, offers a prime development opportunity.
Furthermore, there are 9 large commercial polytunnels to the far bottom corner that could possibly obtain planning for a large agricultural building / stables / barn under possible permitted development.
In our opinion, if converted to a good standard into a luxury single storey residence, the value with the associated land could be as much as £1,100,000 to £1,200,000 as a luxury bespoke rural residence.
LOCATION: Situated on the edge of Ninfield at the end of a country lane and enjoying fabulous rural views. Ninfield is a small village with a village hall, church, nursery and primary school, general store/Post Office, two public houses, petrol station and thriving community. Catsfield village, with village store/Post Office, public house, popular Great Park Farm Shop and Cafe and Wylands fishing lakes and farm shops, is about 1.6 miles. Hooe village is about 1.9 miles and has a repair garage, farm shop and the Red Lion public house. The mainline stations of Battle and Crowhurst are also within easy driving distance, making this location ideal for a London buyer. There are extensive shopping and leisure facilities at Battle and Eastbourne, and depending upon educational needs, there are numerous reputable teaching institutions nearby, including Battle Abbey, Bede’s, Eastbourne College and Mayfield School for Girls.
EXISTING LAYOUT: The internal layout, which is complimented by vaulted beamed ceilings, currently comprises of a generous sized office with window having aspect to the front driveway. The office is presently entered from outside via a stable door. Beyond the office are a number of large adjoining storage room areas in addition to a staff welfare area. The adjoining large plant machinery storage / workshop can be approached from outside via twin oak doors. This large adjoining section can easily store a fair amount of plant machinery and also provides ample space to service the machines and equipment if required. The external construction is comprised of oak weatherboarded sides under a pitched tiled roof with brick and concrete foundations.
OUTSIDE: This generous sized detached barn comes with 7.8 acre of grounds and also enjoys an elevated position and the benefit of beautiful far-reaching views. The 7.8 acres, gently slope away and lead down to 9 large redundant polytunnels that may well be able to obtain permitted development into a further barn / storage building or stables. The property can be accessed by vehicle and by foot from the private country tarmac lane and then through the gated entrance leading off.
