Full planning permission to extend main house (RR/2022/1067/P).

Set within approximately five acres on the edge of Ticehurst, this substantial six-bedroom detached home offers flexible family living with generous internal space (circa 4,000 sq ft), multiple reception rooms and a modern kitchen. The property includes a gym/studio, heated outdoor swimming pool, garage and extensive parking behind electric gates — all delivering strong family amenity and excellent privacy with southerly country views.
Planning consent is a major value driver: full permission (RR/2022/1067/P) exists to extend the main house, and further permission is currently being sought for a separate detached dwelling on the plot. These approvals present clear scope to increase living space or create a second home for rental or multi‑generational use (subject to final permissions).
Practical points to note: the house dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and will need ongoing maintenance and potential modernisation in places. Heating is oil‑fired via boiler and radiators (not on a community supply) and the property uses private sewerage — both factors that influence running costs and servicing. Double glazing is present but installation date is unknown.
This is a strong proposition for a large family seeking a private countryside setting within walking distance of Ticehurst village. It will also appeal to buyers looking to add value through extension or to pursue the separate dwelling planning application. Prospective purchasers should budget for higher council tax and typical upkeep associated with a property of this age and footprint.
