This property presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, featuring an extensive timber-framed barn with approved planning permission for conversion into a four-bedroom residence. The granted permission allows for the transformation of approximately 3,645 sq. ft. of the barn’s north-eastern bays, creating a split-level dwelling designed to maximize space and natural light. Notably, the planning approval accommodates the property's positioning within Flood Zones 2 and 3, ensuring that all aspects of design have been considered.
In addition to the planned living space, the remaining unconverted section of the barn encompasses another 3,229 sq. ft., offering versatile potential for further development or storage needs. This includes both open-fronted bays and a fully enclosed workshop with an upper storage area. Additionally, the eastern segment of a steel-framed agricultural barn adds approximately 4,196 sq. ft. of usable space, which could serve various functional purposes.
The surrounding land enhances this property’s appeal, comprising roughly 10 acres of pastureland bordered by a tributary of the River Uck along its southern boundary. This agricultural setting not only provides a serene environment but also opens possibilities for livestock or other farming activities.
Access to the property is via a shared farm drive that connects to public routes while maintaining a degree of privacy and tranquility typical of rural locations. The proximity to nearby villages like Rotherfield and Mayfield (2.7 miles and 3.5 miles respectively), along with Tunbridge Wells being just over 10 miles away, ensures that residents can benefit from local amenities while enjoying the advantages of countryside living.
Utilities include mains electricity connected to the barn, with water connections available at buyer's expense. The property is offered freehold with vacant possession upon completion.
This listing also includes additional land parcels for negotiation: Fox and Furnace Field (approximately 19.61 acres) features pastureland complemented by a small lake; Little Foxes Field (approximately 17.3 acres) includes mixed pasture with woodland areas and even has potential structures in need of refurbishment.
Overall, this property is well-positioned for those looking to invest in a renovation project that combines residential opportunity with agricultural potential in an appealing rural setting.
