Description

A rural development site at Coneyhurst with full planning permission for the redevelopment of an existing agricultural building into two semi-detached cottage-style homes. The proposed homes are each approximately 137 sq.m (1,474 sq.ft), with the site extending to around 0.40 acre. A further 1.24 acres may be available by separate negotiation, subject to the terms described by the agent. Planning permission is stated under reference DC/20/2567. The plans show a two-storey layout with three bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, a further bathroom, sitting room and kitchen-dining area in each home. The site plan also indicates parking and turning areas. Buyers should check the approved plans and all planning conditions directly with Horsham District Council. The site is in a countryside setting within a few miles of Billingshurst and its shops, services and railway station, with Horsham approximately six miles away. The A24 and A23 are accessible by road. The listing states that electricity is connected to the site and terminates at three meter boxes, although meters are not installed. A mains water connection is located immediately outside the dwelling, and the purchaser is responsible for arranging the connection. The freehold sale is subject to existing rights and easements. The vendor will retain a right of access through the new entrance. The listing advises purchasers to verify planning, services, access, boundaries, areas and other relevant matters before proceeding.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

59out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

The standout is the asking price: £450,000 is around 29% below the local average on a £/sqf basis, making this a comparatively cheap entry point for a consented rural project. Full planning permission is stated for two cottage-style homes of about 1,474 sq.ft each, with proposed plans and elevations shown; verify the permission, conditions and implementation status before proceeding.

This is a development opportunity rather than a conventional house renovation: the photos show an agricultural shed and open site, not completed homes, so delivering the proposed scheme means substantial building work. The rural setting, 0.40-acre plot and scope to create two new homes give the project its appeal, though the overall score is weak because renovation economics could not be assessed from the available figures.

Key opportunities

  • Create two cottage-style homes of approximately 1,474 sq.ft each under the stated full planning permission.
  • Shape a new residential scheme around the rural 0.40-acre plot, using the proposed site, floor and elevation plans as a starting point.
  • Acquire at an asking price around 29% below the local average on a £/sqf basis.

Key risks

  • The existing agricultural shed and site must be transformed into two homes, making this a substantial construction programme rather than a cosmetic project.
  • The renovation economics are unassessed because no renovation estimate is available; confirm the build scope and costs alongside the planning permission’s conditions and implementation status.
