Eartham, Chichester, PO18

Standing in a large, gently elevated plot extending to approaching one third of an acre (0.279), Starley Cottage offers an extremely rare opportunity to purchase a potential development project in the idyllic village of Eartham, a Conservation Area about six miles north west of Chichester, on the southern periphery of the glorious South Downs National Park.

Enjoying fabulous uninterrupted countryside views, the project provides a blank canvass to either restore or extend the existing house, or replace with a new house, subject to obtaining the appropriate local authority permission.

We understand from the Conservation Officers response to the withdrawn planning application, SDNP/22/00689/FUL, the principle of demolition of the existing dwelling and construction of a replacement dwelling on the site would be supported by the South Downs National Park Authority. It was stated that this must be accomplished in a manner which responds to its historic setting, both in terms of detailed design, size, form and massing. Subsequent pre-applications have been favourable to the principle of a new dwelling placed further to the south of the current building.

Data Room - Correspondence with the South Downs National Park is included in a data room and a link can be provided on request.

The land is available on an unconditional basis for the sum of £900,000 on a subject to contract basis only. Offers on a subject to planning basis will not be entertained.

The owner reserves the right not to accept the highest or indeed any offer. The offer made shall be for a fixed sum unrelated to any other offer.

There has been a pre-application enquiry process undertaken with the SDNPA and copies of drawings and correspondence are included in a data room and a link can be provided on request.

If you wish to discuss the planning prospects in more detail then please do contact Rebecca Tier in our planning team on .
