These types of properties with a variety of options and different types of uses rarely come available. There is also an existing mobile home that has been located and used for many years by the present owner, which could be replaced subject to planning with an annex. Furthermore, the property with circa 2.55 acres (TBV) of grazing paddocks also has an existing detached stable complex with a number of loose boxes and associated parts that could also be either embraced by equine enthusiasts or planning sought to convert into a home office, holiday let or annex (subject to planning). Additionally, and also an exciting option, this property�s location and peaceful semi-rural setting, would be an ideal bespoke building plot for a new bungalow or house subject to planning. The large gardens and low quality of existing construction of the present property makes this option a very viable option. Planning according to our in-house planners should be viable for a bespoke building plot in this attractive location. The existing house with its present accommodation could also be embraced and enhanced as well. Currently the accommodation comprises of a reception hall, a family room, a sitting room with an adjoining open plan dining room, a kitchen, a large conservatory, a first-floor landing, three double bedrooms and a family bathroom / shower room. One could even explore reinstating a commercial cattery if required. All we would suggest, is if anyone looking for a cottage with land to have horses or enjoy a lovely semi-rural location with excellent future potential to enhance or replace the existing property, this would be it. LOCATION: Situated off a little used and quiet country lane located between Polegate and Hailsham in site of the South Downs and within easy access of the road and rail networks if required, makes this property perfect for London buyers wishing to still commute, but also be in a very desirable semi-rural setting. Polegate mainline train station is only approximately a five minute to 10 minute drive away. In addition, the road network to the Lewes to Eastbourne bypass, is also 5 minutes away, so even Brighton city commuters would find this property�s idyllic setting of interest, especially with the viable redevelopment of replacing the existing property with a new build bespoke property. Hailsham, Eastbourne and Lewes towns are all within convenient driving distance and all provide excellent shopping and leisure facilities. There are numerous golf courses in the area, with sailing on the coast also easily accessible and Eastbourne harbour for yachts to be stored. Riding is perfect for this property�s setting with bridleways easily accessible. Walking on the South Downs is also accessible nearby, as well as an abundance of cycling routes.

PLEASE NOTE REDEVELOPMENT POSSABILITIES: There is scope for the existing building to be replaced with a more modern and impressive bespoke house or bungalow, especially considering its very attractive and pleasant location. Furthermore, the existing property has a construction that is not conducive to energy efficiency or of any real merit and thus a replacement dwelling would be an attractive option, especially for buyers looking for a nice bespoke building plot with circa 2.55 acres (TBV). This is all subject to planning, but again, our in house planners believe this is a viable option.
