Description

Nestled on the edge of ancient woodland, this remarkable property offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history and nature. Set within a seven-acre estate, it features a 17th-century Grade II listed timber-framed barn, which has been beautifully preserved. The property includes a productive one-acre vineyard, home to approximately 1,000 vines of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, alongside a former stable that houses an on-site winery. With the potential to expand the vineyard further, this estate is perfect for those with a passion for viticulture. Additionally, the property boasts a licensed glamping site with three safari tents, generating consistent income and strong guest ratings. The grounds are meticulously landscaped, featuring a gravel driveway that leads to ample parking surrounded by mature trees. Inside, the barn's character is evident with polished brick flooring and stained-glass windows. The snug area, complete with an inglenook fireplace, provides a warm welcome, while the spacious drawing room offers stunning views of the grounds. The country-style kitchen is designed for both functionality and charm, featuring high ceilings and a thatched roof that ensures comfort throughout the year. The adjoining breakfast room opens onto a terrace with vineyard views, ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Upstairs, five bedrooms are arranged around a light-filled landing, each retaining the barn's original timber character. The principal bedroom serves as a tranquil retreat with its vaulted ceiling and en-suite facilities. Outside, the formal garden extends 1.5 acres, showcasing a striped lawn and mature trees, perfect for outdoor gatherings. Located within a half-hour walk from the historic town of Battle, this property combines rural charm with convenient access to local amenities. A one-acre parcel of adjacent land is also available separately, presenting further development opportunities subject to planning consent. This estate offers a rare blend of history, nature, and investment potential.

28out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This Grade II listed detached house offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history, nestled within a productive vineyard that has recently garnered international acclaim. The property boasts characterful living spaces with historical elements, well-proportioned bedrooms filled with natural light, and a functional kitchen that features quality fixtures. The surrounding seven acres, which include a successful glamping site and the potential for further vineyard expansion, enhance the property's appeal as both a residential and income-generating venture.

However, the asking price of £2,100,000 translates to £570/sqf, which is significantly above the local average of £373/sqf, marking it as a dear proposition in terms of value. While the property is well-maintained and offers excellent fundamentals, the economics of the investment are limited due to insufficient renovation data. Buyers will need to consider the price carefully against the backdrop of its unique features and income potential.

Key opportunities

  • Income-generating vineyard with award-winning wine production.
  • Existing glamping site with full planning permission and proven guest ratings.
  • Scope for further vineyard expansion to increase production and revenue.

Key risks

  • Asking price is significantly above local average, impacting overall value opportunity.
  • Limited renovation data may affect future investment planning.
