Tappers Barn is a period, unlisted barn set in an attractive, secluded west-facing plot within the South Downs National Park. The property sits in roughly three acres of gardens and adjoining common land, with a stream, small waterfall and woodland providing privacy and strong rural character. The building’s gross area is circa 7,600 sqft, offering exceptional scale and scope for a range of uses.
Planning permission (ref: SDNP/21/06422/HOUS) has been granted for one residential dwelling with consent drawings indicating about 5,500 sqft of accommodation. There is credible potential to reconfigure the consented layout or to pursue a scheme for two new-build barns, which will suit developers or buyers looking for a large conversion/creation project in a sought-after village setting.
There are some material issues to note: the watercourse on the site requires reinstatement and the barn is a renovation project that will need comprehensive works to create a finished home. The current recorded accommodation is minimal (1 bedroom, 1 bathroom) but the approximate room count and consented drawings point to far greater living space once converted. Services are mixed — fast broadband but only average mobile signal — and the setting is rural and relatively isolated.
This property will appeal to developers and experienced self-builders who value space, character and woodland setting over a turnkey house. It offers a rare combination of scale, permitted consent and a large plot in a highly desirable Sussex hamlet, but buyers should factor in reinstatement works, full renovation costs and planning work if pursuing alternative schemes.
