Freehold
Description
• Excellent Potential development land of approximately 1/3rd of an acre
• Existing old detached cottage & outbuildings (not listed)
• Large side area & additional large garden to the rear
• Planning advice currently suggests potential for a row of three terraced houses to the front with parking to the side & a further potential for a detached bungalow in the large rear garden area behind.
• This land is located in the sustainable location of Punnetts town with a pavement directly to the front boundary
• This potential development land enjoys a good line of site when exiting out onto the road. Furthermore, the access point also benefits from being within a 30 MPH hour speed limit, which again is conducive to this potential development land being likely to successfully obtaining planning permission in the future
• Other potential options would be to replace the old cottage with one single building plot.
• Views to the South Downs
DESCRIPTION: A fantastic opportunity to purchase approximately a 1/3 of an acre parcel of building land, which in our opinion, especially after consultation with our own Neville and Neville planning department, we believe has excellent potential for either up to 4 residential units or even for one luxury plot (subject to planning).
Currently there is a derelict semi-detached cottage to the right side and to the left there is a wide entrance that fronts onto the village road. The pavement is directly in front and the line of site is clear in both directions within the current guidelines for planning approval when also taking into account the 30MPH speed limit.
Furthermore, there is already current development occurring directly behind the site, which again has set further precedents for this land to likely achieve development permission.
Small village developments in our experience tend to achieve greater premiums than country town developments, so this land in our opinion offers good value for those looking to build upon it.
LOCATION: Situated in the village of Punnetts Town within the 30MPH zone and with a pavement directly in front of the site, the amenities of Punnetts Town are within easy walking distance.
In addition, the footpath / pavements continuing across the road enable pedestrians to walk all the way to Heathfield. There is also a main bus route running along this road which allows the village inhabitants to benefit from public transport.
There is also a Doctors surgery and primary school in the village, with the mainline train stations of Stonegate and Etchingham also within only a short drive away, making any properties built here also ideal for London commuting.
SITE LAYOUT AND OLD PROPERTY ACCOMMODATION:
The existing old property is detached and sits to the front and right side of the boundary and although is in a poor state of repair, could perhaps be renovated.
Overall, the size of the existing property is believed to be 142 square meters (1,528 square feet).
We feel there is also scope to extend subject to planning if a buyer was not looking to develop the site.
The other basic option would be to replace the old property with a new single build and move it more centrally into the front of the plot.
THE MORE LOGICAL DEVELOPMENT OPTION:
To replace the old property with a terrace of three two storey houses to the front and also obtain planning for one or a pair of semi-detached single storey properties in the large rear garden area.
