South-facing plot in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
This south-facing plot on Whatlington Road sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and extends to just under half an acre (size to be confirmed). The site includes a substantial 853 sq ft outbuilding suitable for conversion to a workshop, studio or garage and generous wrap-around gardens with mature trees that offer privacy and countryside views. Previously approved planning (now lapsed) was for a contemporary two-storey plus basement five-bedroom house of about 2,680 sq ft; those drawings may inform a fresh application. The plot is freehold and vendors will construct the access driveway.
The existing single-storey former nursery building and grounds are overgrown and require significant refurbishment or redevelopment; the building footprint is modest compared with the overall plot. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average — important practical constraints for buyers planning a modern home office or heavy streaming use. Planning permission has lapsed (reference RR/2021/1937/P), so any purchaser should budget time and cost for a new application if they wish to follow the previous scheme.
The location suits families and buyers seeking a bespoke rural home: local shops, a primary school, pub and transport links are within walking distance, with easy access to Hastings and Rye. This plot offers strong potential to build a large, contemporary family house with private gardens and ancillary space, but it is best for purchasers experienced with redevelopment, planning or refurbishment projects.
