Nestled within a picturesque landscape, this unique plot offers a rare opportunity to create a custom-built residence on the site of a former Glass Nursery in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This particular parcel allows for the design and construction of a bespoke home that features both an established garden and an orchard, making it ideal for those looking to cultivate their own serene retreat.
Additionally, planning permission is in place for a detached triple garage, complete with a log store. The proposed materials such as oak weatherboarding, natural clay tiles, and cast iron effect guttering are thoughtfully chosen to harmonize with the natural surroundings, presenting an attractive traditional aesthetic while ensuring energy efficiency.
Future owners will have the freedom to tailor the interior layout, selecting specifics like kitchen designs, flooring options, and bathroom fixtures. The flexible ground floor study can also be reimagined as a fourth bedroom if desired. Buyers can engage with a well-regarded local contractor under a fixed-price build contract for added peace of mind.
The location itself is another significant asset. Situated just over three miles from the charming village of Mayfield, residents will appreciate access to characterful cottages and boutique shops alongside traditional pubs. Nearby Heathfield provides additional shopping and recreational options, while quiet country lanes promote a tranquil lifestyle away from urban bustle.
Local amenities are abundant; fresh produce and artisan goods are easily accessible through nearby outlets like Tottingworth Park Farm Shop or the Lakedown Brewing Company's taproom. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy proximity to the rolling countryside and scenic walking trails such as the Cuckoo Trail, which spans 14 miles through ancient woodlands. The area is rich in recreational opportunities with Bewl Water and The Forest Way close at hand, catering to hikers and cyclists alike.
Educational needs are well catered for with various local state schools offering quality education options. Notable private institutions like Mayfield School for Girls also serve the area, making it appealing for families seeking academic excellence.
For those who need to commute, Stonegate train station is conveniently located about 4.7 miles away, with regular services connecting to London Charing Cross and other key destinations. With larger towns like Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne within approximately 30 minutes by car, this plot not only presents potential for personal living space but also significant investment value in an idyllic rural setting.
