About this property

  • This property forms Lot 3 of a wider sale, offering two secluded farm buildings with planning permission for conversion approved into a modest detached house, with an additional studio and garage and approximately 9.31 acres of land.

    The completed Coach House will provide for an open-plan living room/kitchen/dining room, a lobby with a cloakroom/shower and bedroom 3/study, plus two main bedrooms upstairs, with a bathroom between. in addition, there will be a separate studio room with en suite shower room and an adjacent garage.

    There is gated access from the lane with hard standing by the Coach House, which is a detached brick and weatherboard design under a slate tiled roof. Further gated access leading to the brick store with pole barn extension, which is to become the studio and garage.

    There are panoramic views across the immediate valley and beyond, towards Hassocks. Approx 9.31 acres in all, fenced into 3 fields, with a public footpath running down the hill - see plan.

    There are two other lots in the wider sale, Lot 1 being a detached residential house, Allfreys, including its garden and two paddocks, one being across the lane. Lot 2 is a further parcel of land adjacent to Lot 3. This land can be sold to either the buyers of Lot 1 or Lot 3, or ultimately to an independent buyer if neither buyer proceeds with the additional land. This Lot 2 land amounts to about a further 12.5 acres of fields with some woodland.

Normally, secluded conversions like this with good land are quite large properties. This one is smaller in scale, so quite rare and the location is I think, an absolute gem!
