Approximately 1.5 acres of freehold woodland on the south side of Chitcombe Road, offered as a development opportunity for buyers prepared to pursue consents. The parcel sits on the fringe of Broad Oak village, around 10 miles north of Hastings, with residential dwellings nearby — a location that may support a sensitive redevelopment subject to planning permission (STPC). Its secluded, wooded character is a strength for privacy and potential bespoke schemes but also means site investigation will be needed.
This sale will be by auction (postponed from the advertised date and expected to be re-entered at a future auction). There is no planning permission in place, and the auction is unconditional: successful bidders exchange contracts immediately and must pay the required deposit (10%, minimum £5,000) plus a buyers’ fee (1.2% of purchase price, minimum £1,500 inc. VAT). Prospective purchasers should study the Legal Pack and arrange their own surveys, searches and planning advice before bidding.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, no recorded flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for remote working or managing any development. The area is described as affluent with very low crime and good nearby schools, which may support residential redevelopment values. Important negatives: the auctioneer has not inspected the land; no guarantees are given about access, services, or ground conditions; and any redevelopment will require planning consents and likely further site works.
This lot suits an investor or developer able to carry out due diligence and take on the planning process, or a buyer seeking a sizable private woodland parcel in a quiet, well-connected rural setting. Arrange an independent inspection and review the Legal Pack before committing to bid.
