A rare development plot on the outskirts of Laughton with planning consent for five bespoke homes, combining four conversions of large agricultural/19th‑century buildings and one new‑build chalet bungalow. The site occupies a huge freehold parcel with uninterrupted southerly views over grazing meadows to the South Downs — a strong location appeal for premium buyers and high‑end builds.
Planning permission is in place for substantial dwellings (units range from 1,367 to 4,510 sq ft) including two large ultra‑modern, eco industrial styled residences and three character conversions/new build chalet designs. The seller has provided a GDV guidance (£450–£500 per sq ft) that indicates significant value uplift once developed. Several units can take adjoining meadow/paddock to the south, enhancing amenity and privacy.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: the plot is rural with slow broadband and average mobile signal, and the cottages offered as an optional extra require updating and a separate negotiated price. The setting is semi‑rural and hamlet‑like — attractive to commuting owners with access to Lewes and Uckfield stations but less suitable for buyers demanding urban connectivity or immediate finished infrastructure.
This is a prime opportunity for a developer or investor targeting high‑value bespoke homes in an affluent East Sussex location. The combination of size, permitted designs, panoramic views and freehold tenure delivers clear upside, but buyers should allow budget and time for rural service upgrades and renovation works for the optional cottages.
