    About this property

    • The plot at Pound Farm Cottage offers an exciting opportunity to acquire a site with full planning permission for two detached dwellings. The proposed properties have been designed by an award-winning architect and are sensitive to their surroundings, adopting the forms and materials of the local rural vernacular, characterised by elevations of local brick and timber weatherboarding, clay tiled roofs and timber or aluminium clad timber windows. The site extends to about 1.5 acres, with each property having ample parking, a private garden and an attractive rural outlook with far-reaching countryside views.

      Planning permission
      Full planning permission was granted on 15 May 2019 for the 'replacement of four former poultry sheds with two new dwellings'. Wealden District Council, ref: WD/2018/0455/F.

      Services
      It is proposed that the new dwellings will have high levels of airtightness and insulation, including high performance windows. Solar thermal water heating and photovoltaic panels will be installed to minimise fossil fuel use. Individual packaged waste water treatment plants will be installed to each dwelling.

    When else do you get the opportunity to build not just one house on a plot but two - both in an equally lovely setting with views over the fields beyond.
