This 24.32-acre site occupies a dramatic position within the High Weald National Landscape AONB, offering uninterrupted south-facing countryside views and significant development potential. Captured planning permission (RR/2017/2886/P) exists for a contemporary home, ancillary outbuilding and landscaped gardens, making this a rare opportunity for a private estate or bespoke new build.
The land is largely wooded and includes ancient semi-natural woodland, a wildflower glade, pond and small wetlands, creating immediate ecological value and attractive garden possibilities. Mains water, electricity and a registered private drainage connection were in place in 2024, reducing initial services uncertainty for redevelopment.
Buyers should note this is a sensitive AONB location: design and build will need to respect landscape restrictions and planning conditions. Tenure is unknown and broadband speeds are very slow; these practical issues may affect remote working or modern connectivity expectations.
Positioned roughly five miles from historic Rye and within easy reach of Hastings and the A21, the site balances rural seclusion with access to local amenities, schooling and transport links. The captured planning permission and existing services make this a compelling proposition for developers, self-builders or investors seeking a distinctive countryside project.
