Summary - KINGSWOOD, STARVECROW LANE TN31 6XN
1 bed 1 bath Plot
Secluded countryside site with planning history and strong ecological features.
24.32-acre plot within High Weald National Landscape AONB
Set within the High Weald National Landscape, this 24.32-acre plot offers a rare canvas for a carefully designed countryside home. The site already benefits from mains water, electricity and registered private drainage, plus a private woodland drive and south-facing views across open fields. Detailed plans and a planning approval reference (RR/2017/2886/P) exist, though buyers should confirm current permissions with Rother District Council.
The land includes ancient semi-natural woodland, a wildflower glade, pond and small wetlands, creating strong ecological and privacy value. Proposed design features envisage low visual impact, sunken terraces and full-height windows to maximise the setting; there is also scope for ancillary accommodation, garaging and productive garden space including a green roof and kitchen garden.
Important considerations: the plot lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so future development will be subject to strict planning and landscape controls. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average. Drainage is private (registered in 2024), and prospective buyers should check services capacity and any maintenance obligations tied to private systems or access drive.
This is a high-value, large-scale rural opportunity for a buyer seeking seclusion, ecological interest and design freedom within an AONB—best suited to someone experienced with country development projects or looking for a special long-term investment close to Rye.
