Summary - Copyhold Farm, Cowbeech Road BN27 4PD
1 bed 1 bath Land
Substantial AONB acreage with farm buildings and Class Q potential.
Approximately 21.72 acres in Lot 1; whole holding circa 64.94 acres
Copyhold Farm is a substantial agricultural holding set on the southern edge of the High Weald AONB, offered as a whole or in two lots. Lot 1 extends to about 21.72 acres of mixed pasture, arable ground and a central belt of ancient woodland, with the larger property amounting to circa 64.94 acres and some 7,245 sq ft of covered farm buildings in the northern block. The site enjoys wide southerly views to the Downs and northerly panoramas over the High Weald.
The principal steel, fibre cement and breeze-block general purpose building (approx. 5,680 sq ft) and an adjoining 1,565 sq ft barn/stabling offer practical covered space and conversion potential. The large general purpose barn is considered a candidate for conversion to a dwelling under Class Q Permitted Development, subject to Local Authority consent — interested parties should seek formal planning advice. Services to the buildings include mains water and single-phase mains electricity.
Practical matters to note: the land is Grade 3 agricultural with slightly acidic, loamy and clayey soils and impeded drainage in places. Parts of the farm are subject to a Countryside Stewardship scheme until mid-2026, and the general purpose barn with adjoining pasture is let on a Farm Business Tenancy until 31 March 2026 (notice served). There are no recorded public rights of way on the County Definitive Plan, but a private right of way benefits an adjoining property.
This holding will suit buyers seeking an income-producing farm, a rural investment with development potential, or an equestrian/amenity acquisition close to local facilities. It offers a rare combination of substantial acreage, usable farm buildings and protected AONB setting — balanced by tenure, scheme commitments and the need for professional planning and drainage consideration where conversion or intensive use is proposed.
