description: A very attractive substantial sized family residence set at the end of its own private security gated drive and also offering excellent redevelopment potential, as either a multi bespoke luxury building plot residential development site, in addition to the already granted planning for a splendid 2,500 square foot architect designed residence to replace the property’s old detached cottage building within in the existing circa 5 acres (tbv), or for the existing large circa in excess of 4,152 square foot residence to be replaced with a new bespoke mansion of an incoming owner’s own choice and design.

This substantial character styled detached 7 bedroomed property, as previously mentioned, is approximately 4,152 square feet and currently sits in circa 5 acres (tbv) of gardens and paddocks in an elevated position. Its current accommodation is arranged over 4 floors and it has an attractive exterior and offers a variety of options for the existing layout to be re arranged into a different format altogether depending upon a particular buyer’s style or needs.

As this substantial home is also located within the grounds of an old original garden nursery and still retains many of the nursery’s remaining foundations of the original commercial buildings and green houses, it could be quite possible, subject to planning, to look upon this whole site as having many different redevelopment options.

Furthermore, there is still existing planning permission for the completion of the construction of a triple detached garage complex with a one-bedroom apartment above.

The property room layout has been recently changed and embraces multigenerational living, with the owner on the west wing and his daughter, her husband and children on the east.

Situation: Located in a wonderful elevated semi-rural position set off Whatlington Road near Battle and enjoying absolutely stunning far reaching country views, this property is considered perfect for London commuters, especially with both the Crowhurst and Battle mainline train stations within only a short drive away.

Depending upon educational needs, there is an abundant variety of reputable teaching institutions to choose from within the general locality, including Battle Abbey, Eastbourne College, Mayfield School for Girls, Tonbridge School for Boys and Bede’s to name but a few.

Although Battle offers excellent shopping and leisure facilities, Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne are also within a convenient drive away, which can offer an even greater choice if needed.

With sailing on the coast and numerous golf courses nearby, as well as a network of cycling routes and bridleways, in addition to amazing country walks all the way to the South Downs National Park, it is no surprise that London buyers are so keen to purchase properties in this particular part of Sussex.

In addition to this, there is still current planning for the finishing of the construction for a triple garage complex located to the side front garden area, with a one-bedroom apartment accommodation above.

There is also excellent potential for further substantial redevelopment for the other buildings subject to planning, as there are the bases of the old nursery buildings and barns, as well as the commercial greenhouses that still occupy the site.

What’s also interesting and beneficial for other development options, is the fact that the existing house, which is not grade listed, is circa 4,152 square feet, which also offers a trade-off to have this replaced with either smaller bespoke houses of excess 2,000 square feet each, or for a magnificent bespoke mansion to be created and repositioned on the 5 acre plot for any current buyer looking for a prime site to build their own bespoke luxury mansion in an elevated position with magnificent far reaching rural views.

Rear garden: To the rear garden, which is predominantly laid to lawns, there is also an extensive walled Rose garden, which was partially formed out of the old garden nursery’s foundations left in situ. In addition, there are a number of mature trees, numerous established shrubs and flower borders, extensive walkways, large 15m x 10m Koi pond with large seating patio area, stream running from garden beds close to rear of house and joining pond underground via a charming waterfall, and a gravel driveway and parking area leading to where the existing old cottage is presently situated. Please note: The cottage is replaceable, as per the current planning permission, with an approximate 2,500 square foot bespoke luxury ultra-modern architect designed detached 3 storey 4 bedroomed and 3 reception roomed residence with separate access coming from around the front left side of the main property.

Paddock: The two acre grass paddock is located to the right (east) side of the main residence and, subject to planning, it may be possible to build a stable complex where an incoming purchaser would be looking to have equestrian facilities linked with their main residence.
