An excellent opportunity to acquire approximately 15.096 acres of grazing land situated in an attractive rural location at Henley Down, Catsfield, near Battle.
The land benefits from gated access directly from the road and offers a useful parcel of agricultural land suitable for grazing and other agricultural purposes, subject to the usual consents.
Of particular interest is the benefit of an approved agricultural storage building, intended for the storage of hay, feed and agricultural machinery including tractors and mowers. Rother District Council has confirmed that prior approval is not required for the proposed agricultural building under the relevant permitted development provisions.

PROPOSED AGRICULTURAL BUILDING: The approved plans provide for a substantial purpose-built agricultural barn measuring approximately:
• 25.8 metres long
• 15.8 metres wide
• 5 metres to the eaves
• 7 metres to the ridge
This provides a footprint of approximately 408 sq m / 4,388 sq ft, commonly described as approximately 4,500 sq ft.
The submitted plans show a steel-framed style agricultural building with plastisol-coated steel sheet cladding, concrete block plinths and a green plastisol-coated steel sheet roof, designed specifically for agricultural storage.
The planning application identifies the proposed use as a barn for hay, feed and machinery, including tractors and mowers, with no livestock housing proposed.

THE LAND: Extending in all to approximately 15.096 acres, the property comprises grazing land with the benefit of gated road access.
Its rural position, combined with the consented agricultural storage building, makes the land particularly attractive to agricultural, equestrian or amenity purchasers looking for a conveniently accessible block of land in the Catsfield and Battle area.
Any alternative or equestrian use would be subject to any necessary planning or other consents.

PLANNING: Rother District Council issued its decision on 17 August 2026, confirming that prior approval is not required for the erection of a new barn for hay, feed and machinery.
The approval relates specifically to the agricultural storage building. The Council's decision notes that:
• the building is for agricultural storage only and not for the keeping of livestock;
• the decision relates only to the building and does not include hardstanding, tracks, importation of spoil or alterations to ground levels; and
• the building is to be removed if it ceases to be used for agricultural purposes.

LOCATION: The land is situated at Henley Down, Catsfield, Battle, East Sussex, in an attractive countryside setting within easy reach of the village of Catsfield and the historic market town of Battle.
The location offers a good balance of rural surroundings and road accessibility, making the land well suited to those seeking grazing or agricultural land within this popular part of East Sussex.
