An uncommon opportunity to commission a substantial family home in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Plot 2 occupies about one acre on the former Glass Nursery site and comes with full planning permission for a 2,272 sqft, four-bedroom house designed by Richardson Architecture. The design balances traditional rural character with a high level of thermal and energy efficiency.
The consent also includes a detached triple garage with log store and scope for a mature garden and orchard. Buyers may specify internal finishes and room layouts; the ground-floor study can be converted to a fourth bedroom. There is an option to build under a fixed-price contract with a reputable local contractor to control cost and programme.
Practical points are straightforward: the plot is freehold, stamp duty is payable on the plot purchase, and broadband in the immediate area is slow. The scheme has full planning details with Wealden District Council (WD/2020/2182/F for the house; WD/2022/7030/AD for the agricultural barn). This site suits purchasers seeking a bespoke, energy-efficient country home rather than a ready-made property.
Location benefits include very low crime, excellent mobile signal, proximity to Mayfield, Heathfield and local schools, and easy access to countryside attractions such as Bateman's, Bewl Water and the Cuckoo Trail. The site is best for buyers who value rural privacy, architectural control and generous outdoor space, and who accept some trade-offs in connectivity and immediate on-site finishes.
