Summary - OLD BARN FARM BOREHAM LANE WARTLING HAILSHAM BN27 1RS
2 bed 1 bath Detached
Five acres with panoramic sea and Downs views; renovation or rebuild opportunity.
Detached two-bedroom cottage with exposed beams and wood-burner
Set within an exceptionally large 5.2-acre plot, this detached two-bedroom cottage offers sweeping countryside and sea views with genuine development potential. The existing house is characterful — exposed beams, brick features, wood-burning stove and a glazed family room — and sits with ample outbuildings, a double garage and parking. Buyers can occupy as-is, extend, or pursue a total replacement subject to planning for a bespoke rural home.
The house dates from 1930–1949 and has period charm, but it requires updating. Walls are cavity with no confirmed insulation, the main heating is oil-fired boiler and radiators, glazing is double but install date is unknown, and the EPC is D with potential to improve to C. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is excellent; these practical limitations are important for remote working and connectivity plans.
This property will suit buyers seeking a large plot for equestrian use, smallholding or landscaping, and is particularly attractive to purchasers wanting a development project in a peaceful village setting. It also offers straightforward access to nearby stations for commuters. Be aware: the dwelling’s small rooms, low ceilings in parts, and dated services mean immediate renovation or a long-term redevelopment plan will be needed to achieve modern living standards.
