Starvecrow Lane, Peasmarsh, Rye, East Sussex

This generous 24.32-acre plot of land for development is located in the heart of the stunning High Weald National Landscape and surrounded by picturesque rolling fields, woodland and meadows. A picturesque private woodland drive provides access from the road, leading to the site, which is sheltered by woodland on one side and enjoys south facing views across the surrounding countryside.

There are also plans for a substantial outbuilding comprising of ancillary accommodation, garaging and glasshouse and potting shed.
