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.
