Private, freehold wooded plot with speculative development potential near Newhaven..
Freehold wooded plot approximately 10,333 sq ft (approx. 60m x 16m)
Semi-rural location between Newhaven and Peacehaven, ~1 mile to town centre
Speculative development potential — subject to planning and statutory searches
Overgrown, unmanaged site; clearance and maintenance required
No visible on‑site services; buyers should expect utility connection work
Excellent mobile signal but slow broadband speeds on site
Higher local crime rate; area classified as deprived — consider security
Includes small timber outbuilding and informal vehicular access
This freehold parcel on Ringmer Road (BN9 9TN) offers a private, wooded plot of approximately 10,333 sq ft (around 60m x 16m). Predominantly overgrown with mature trees, scrub and grass, the land currently provides informal access from the road, a small timber outbuilding and occasional vehicle parking. It is presented as a speculative purchase with future development potential subject to planning and statutory searches.
The site is semi-rural, positioned between Newhaven and Peacehaven with local shopping about a mile away and Brighton roughly nine miles to the west. Practical details: no visible on-site services, excellent mobile signal but slow broadband, and the immediate area is classified as deprived with a higher local crime rate. Buyers should factor in clearance, ongoing maintenance and any planning obligations.
This plot will suit a buyer seeking a secluded amenity plot, private garden extension or a speculative investment for redevelopment. It is priced to reflect its current unmanaged condition and the need for due diligence — planning advice and local searches are strongly recommended before purchase.
Positive attributes include sizeable freehold ownership, semi-rural privacy, and proximity to local schools and transport links. Material drawbacks are the overgrown state, absence of visible services, slow broadband, high local crime statistics and the need for planning confirmation for any change of use.
