This is a rare development plot with an extended, newly renovated three-bedroom detached house plus approved planning permission (ref RR/2024/625/P) for two additional new-build dwellings: a 2,088 sqft five-bedroom detached and a 1,151 sqft three-bedroom detached. The existing house already benefits from a bright, triple-aspect 24ft kitchen/dining/living room with bi-fold doors, underfloor heating in principal ground-floor areas and an air-source heat pump. The site sits semi-rural in Broad Oak village with convenient local amenities and straightforward road and rail links to Battle, Robertsbridge and the A21.
For an investor or developer this offers immediate value: the existing home is liveable and newly finished, while the approved consent removes a major planning risk for adding two high-value dwellings. The plot is large, freehold and arranged with off-street parking and private drainage, which supports flexible layouts and delivery options. Local schools are within reasonable distance and the village provides essential services including a shop, bakery and a renovated pub.
Notable practical points are realistic: broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal only average, which may deter some buyers or renters seeking high-speed connectivity without installing alternatives. Services and appliances in the current property are untested and the site will require standard construction supervision and connections for the new builds. The setting is calm and affluent, but purchasers should factor in build costs, local connection fees and the usual pre-occupation checks despite approved planning.
Overall this plot suits a developer or investor looking for a low-planning-risk project in a pleasant rural-neighbourhood setting. The combination of a finished family home, generous plot and approved consent for two spacious dwellings creates multiple options: retain and let, sell off individually, or develop the full scheme to maximise value.
