In addition, there is a further large detached heritage building and garage complex with workshop areas incorporated, that may also lend itself for future conversion if so required. Blessed with outstanding views from all sides and being predominantly over its own beautiful grounds, this property which is set in a very peaceful location away from any busy roads, also has a wonderful hidden lake situated at the end of its grass grazing paddocks, being currently surrounded by both young and mature trees. However, this beautiful secret lake, could be greatly enhanced if required, subject to planning. The little used country lane nearby, provides easy access to both Stonegate and Etchingham mainline train stations, which are both within a short drive away, making this property perfect for London commuters. When taking into account all of the property's grass paddocks, this attractive country home is also considered ideal to have professional equestrian adaptations, with ample space for stables and an all-weather menage to be built, with even the possibilities for the construction of a covered arena, subject to planning, especially considering the numerous old historic farm buildings that have been on the farm and their still existing remaining foundations.HISTORICAL NOTES: This very attractive historical Oast House has already had a very successful agricultural past, with it once being a leading founder and probably one of the most successful original commercial egg producing companies in the UK, which at the time was known as the Limberlost Egg Farm. Prior to this, it was used for storing and processing hops amongst other agricultural uses. The existing accommodation for the main house has only had one recent extension, which was the addition of a large single storey orangery to add onto the back of the kitchen area. However, the foundations were at the time of construction of the new extension, intentionally increased under the present sun terrace to allow for an even greater single storey to be added if required in the future subject to planning.

Furthermore, there are still old remaining building bases and foundations of old piggery buildings, as well as old poultry buildings from when this farm was once one of the most successful free range / battery chicken egg businesses in the U.K. In our opinion, there could also be excellent scope to build a good-sized stable complex, in addition to also incorporating other equestrian facilities as a result of all the historic buildings previously located on this very appealing country estate / small holding. There was also an outdoor swimming pool located behind the pavilion building which the previous owners decided to fill in, but as there was existing past planning permission for the pool, it should be fairly easy to reinstate a new one. The grass paddocks do have separate gated access points onto the quiet little used country lane that runs down one of the main field's boundary.EPC: ECouncil Tax Band: G For more details and to contact: https://realtyww.info/houses_heathfield-d197517/for-sale_i71634262

Adjoining room, which is ideal for an ensuite bathroom to be created subject to planning. OUTSIDE: This idyllically located character 3 / 4 bedroomed detached farmhouse is set within its own gardens and grounds of circa 26.5 acres. In addition, it also has the added benefit of possessing a large detached single storey brick and block in excess of 2,000 square foot storage barn / garage building, as well as a further smaller old farm building. Historically there was also a large detached old period barn nearer the front side boundary. The property has circa 20 acres of grazing land behind and beyond the property's beautiful 6.5 acres mature main gardens that encompass the house to all sides.FRONT GARDENS: These are arranged as you approach the property along its private tarmacadam driveway and are comprised of lawns, a variety of shrubs, trees and flower borders. SIDE GARDEN: The larger side garden has been arranged to have an orchard area complimented by grass lawns. REAR GARDENS: These have been lovingly established over the years to comprise of specimen trees and numerous shrubs and delightful rose and flower borders, all of which can be enjoyed from the red brick terraces. Beyond the rear gardens mature hedge boundary are its further grazing paddocks which are believed to be in the region of circa 20 acres. DRIVEWAY & OUTBUILDINGS: The property benefits from a long tarmac entrance drive with a number of areas from which can be parked numerous vehicles. This drive goes to and also past the large detached circa in excess of 2,000 square feet garage / storage barn and beyond all the way to the gate which opens to the grazing land. DETACHED LARGE BRICK & BLOCK GARAGE COMPLEX / OLD BARN: This measures in excess of circa 2,000 square feet and in our opinion could lend itself for conversion into either a large single annex dwelling, a number of holiday letting units, a large home office business / workshop, or even a completely new and separate replacement bespoke separate dwelling not necessarily linked to the main existing farm estate subject to necessary consents.Furthermore, we believe the two front lawned / paddocks either side of the main entrance drive may also be suitable for future residential development subject to planning. POND: Also located within the 20 acres of grazing land, is a large pond / small lake which could be enhanced and enlarged to create a fishing water feature subject to planning. In addition, due to the soil being predominantly clay in this area, it is logical to assume that there could be an excellent opportunity to create a larger or even a number of fishing lakes on this land, either for aesthetics, or to attract nature. In addition, as the main grazing land is not classed as AONB or SSI, there could also be potential for future development of these acres to future either residential housing, or even a park home development subject to planning. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the numerous development possibilities the land belonging to this country estate has, the current owners are inclined to place an overage of circa 20% for a term of 50 years upon the associated land.

In addition, we understand this property still functions in some various format as a small holding farm and also has been in the historical receipt of farm / land payments, which in turn may also help for the property purchase to qualify for the mixed-use stamp duty benefit. Furthermore, this property also comes with the benefit of numerous and substantial sized old farm buildings that can be accessed by a separate driveway.These farm buildings could also offer a new owner so many incredible entrepreneurial opportunities, including under the CLASS R Planning guidelines, which would allow for the buildings to possibly be converted into commercial offices and / or commercial storage facilities, therefore providing useful lucrative income streams. Furthermore, there has already been historic planning permission granted for a luxury detached two bedroomed circa 1000 square foot holiday letting property to be created from the conversion of the old coach house (although this planning has now lapsed, but could be quite easily re-instated in our opinion). PLEASE NOTE: Our own in-house and associated planners have already investigated the CLASS R PLANNING possibilities for this property's existing outbuildings, and this being the case, they feel there is a good chance for this permission to be successfully granted if applied for correctly. The conversion of the property's other brick buildings into further holiday letting units may also be a possibility, subject to planning. All of which could also provide a good additional future income stream for a new owner. Also, it is understood, that after a number of years of obtaining CLASS R planning permission and having the buildings converted and used accordingly, there then may be a possibility of allowing for CLASS Q planning to be considered (CLASS Q being the conversion of commercial office buildings and commercial storage into residential housing). Equestrian buyers / enthusiasts may also be interested to know that the property also has good existing equestrian facilities onsite, which currently include an all-weather menage and a number of stables. This facility is further complemented by the property's separate road access to these farm buildings and equine facilities, which allow for the access and parking for large horseboxes.PLEASE NOTE: Other possible business opportunities which could easily be incorporated onto the property's grounds of 46.64 acres, are either Fishing and glamping, or indeed both. The commercial fishing opportunity, can be fairly easily created by both repairing and enhancing the property's existing ponds and its attractive small lake. Neville and Neville can suggest reputable suitable contractors and advisors to assist with this advice, if and where required. Glamping is also currently proving very popular and a lucrative business model in the East Sussex area, especially when utilizing Shepherds Huts, that are in turn complimented by the property's stunning rural views, as well as also being located so conveniently close to the idyllic village of Rushlake Green with excellent local amenities and renowned gastro pub. For those buyers looking for a lovely country property, but not so keen to keep a large amount of land and / or associated outbuilding, there is also the opportunity to consider selling off any excessive land and / or numerous outbuildings and in turn, keeping the main Grade II listed detached six double bedroomed residence with its attractive gardens and its all-weather tennis court. Therefore, in the process recouping a surprising amount of the original purchase price, especially in this instance, where the farm buildings already have their own separate gated driveway.In actual fact, Neville and Neville have been very successful in selling unwanted farm buildings, even with only small amounts of land, and also without CLASS R or CLASS Q planning permission, and achieving significant premium prices. However, keeping the whole farm and the country house together, would in our opinion be the most ideal choice to take, especially considering all of the positive financial variables which the numerous farm buildings and land can offer the new property owner.This attractive and substantial sized character country residence is offered for sale in good decorative order and also benefits from many beautiful character features throughout, as well as high level beamed ceilings and numerous impressive feature inglenook fireplaces. Its accommodation presently provides six double bedrooms that are arranged on both the first and second floors, also with potential to create (subject to planning) two ensuite facilities, as well as an additional family bathroom / shower room in the existing attic room on the second floor. These would be in addition to the existing large luxury family bathroom and further separate luxury family shower room located on the first floorThe property's accommodation, also includes a reception hall, an inner hall, a country style kitchen with separate adjoining breakfast room, a utility room / boot room, a formal dining room, a sitting room, a large study / family snug room and two cloakrooms. LOCATION: This substantial and impressive detached six double bedroomed country residence, is situated in a highly desirable rural part of East Sussex known as Rushlake Green, as well as also being set within its own private gardens and grounds of 46.64 acres, that are presently comprised of grass meadows, wooded areas, in addition to a number of ponds and a small lake. Furthermore, this property's grounds are adjoined by further extensive Sussex countryside, with beautiful breathtaking and far reaching views beyond, as far as the eye can see.London buyers have always been extremely keen to relocate to this specific part of East Sussex and the idyllic and picturesque village of Rushlak Green in particular. Especially as the mainline stations of Stonegate, Etchingham and Polegate are within convenient driving distance, making this area perfect for London commuters.This fine country home, is also within easy walking distance, of the Rushlake Green village and its excellent local amenities, which currently include the very successful local village store and Post Office, in addition to the highly reputable and popular Horse and Groom Pub and Restaurant.

Furthermore, the main farmhouse has a detached triple garage, as well as an extensive sized gravel driveway and parking / turning area, all of which can be accessed via its main front double gated entrance that is separate from the other parts of the farm / country estate. In addition, there is a separate double gated entrance to the property's extensive sized and numerous detached farm buildings that are understood to be suitable quite possibly for CLASS R planning permission. PLEASE NOTE CLASS R PLANNING: Is where planning policy allows for the conversion of old farm buildings to be converted into offices and / or storage facilities. This being the case, our in-house planning department has already looked at this being a possible viable option. Furthermore, CLASS Q can sometimes be granted after a number of years have passed under CLASS R usage. PLANNING PERMISSION REFERENCE WD/2005/ 0166/F: Had already previously granted, although this has now currently lapsed, for the detached brick coach house building to be converted into a luxury high yielding residential holiday rental property. This being the case, it is therefore most likely that this same planning permission would be granted again, as well as possibly some of the other detached brick outbuildings also located on site.NUMEROUS FARM BUILDINGS WITH EXCELLENT POTENTIAL FOR CONVERSION INTO VALUABLE COMMERCIAL USEAGE: These can be accessed from a separate double gated driveway and presently comprise of the following:1. The large ATCOST storage barn for farm machinery also with animal storage areas measures 88.7 feet X 48.5 feet = 4,301 square feet. Which according to our planning department would be ideal for conversion into offices under CLASS R PLANNING.2. Second large high level ATCOST tractor and hay barn also suitable for CLASS R PLANNING for either offices or a storage facility.3. The old coach house building measuring a total area of 987 square feet has already previous been granted planning for conversion into a luxury two bedroomed detached holiday rental property under reference WD/2005/0166/F and therefore, it is likely that this permission can be renewed.4. The old brick-built pig pen measuring 416 square feet 5. The old machinery store measuring 535 square feet EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES ALREADY ON SITE: These include a large all-weather menage and a number of loose boxes and space to park and store large horseboxes / tailers.FARMLAND: We are currently informed that the circa 46 acres have been entitled to farm / land qualifying payments, therefore there may be possibilities for mixed use stamp duty benefits.GRAZING LAND: This predominantly forms the majority of the land belonging to the farm and is classed as Grade 3 and mostly Wadhurst clay. There is also water connected to the grazing land areas. FISHING PONDS & LAKES: The advantage of the soil being Wadhurst clay, allows for both the existing natural old ponds and the further small lake area, to be easily restored and enhanced to create a beneficial and lucrative carp fishing business, which could also run alongside the existing or future enhanced farm uses and or a possible glamping business as well.GLAMPING BUSINESS POTENTIAL: Furthermore, the fact that this fine property / country estate enjoys such fabulous local scenery and stunning far reaching views, in addition to also being located so close to the picturesque village of Rushlake Green, with its excellent local village shop / Post Office and The Horse & Groom Pub Restaurant, makes it an ideal opportunity for a successful glamping / business with Shepherds Huts to be created in our opinion (subject to planning). PLEASE NOTE: Our in-house and associated planners can provide where requested, guidance and advice on the above mentioned planning possibilities.COUNCIL TAX BAND: G For more details and to contact: https://realtyww.info/houses_heathfield-d197517/for-sale_i68996336

Furthermore, the current owners have also been ahead of the energy efficiency curve by already incorporating both ground source and air source heat pumps to provide the heating for this magnificent Sussex Barn conversion.

Please note that there is a footpath that crosses at the bottom of the hill in front of the brook, although it is apparently rarely used. SUCCESSFUL SPARKLING WINE VINEYARD AND WINERY: This property also benefits from having an established highly bespoke private Artisan Sparkling Wine Vineyard, having been planted between 2007 and 2009 with the classic Champagne varieties this has been passionately and painstakingly developed by the current owners, with the added bonus that it has already proven capable of producing up to circa 2,000 bottles of fine quality Sparkling wine annually from using just one acre of the property's total circa 9 acres. It is possible with perhaps the right guidance and in the correct enthusiastic hands, that this Sparkling White Wine vineyard and Winery, especially considering its production capacity, may have the possibility of being enhanced into a successful commercial Artisan Sparkling Fine Wine business, which could also run along and compliment the property's existing and highly very successful 3 unit Safari Styled Glamping business that has been running already for approximately 3 years. SUCCESSFUL SAFARI STYLE 3 UNIT GLAMPING BUSINESS: The current property owners have also immersed themselves over approximately the past 3 years in the creation of a successful three-unit luxury safari style glamping business that is able to produce a healthy income stream that can be enhanced further by increasing the season, or even subject to planning by adding more similar styled glamping units. There are images of some of the glamping units that are on private drainage and have hot showers and fully equipped kitchens with wood burners and barbecues for cooking. The units sleep 4 to 6 people giving a maximum capacity of 14 guests currently. The fact that Battle Great Wood directly adjoins this property's land and there are footpaths that can also access the adjoining countryside, makes this Glamping business a very popular location. PLEASE NOTE: The Glamping business has also been complimented financially with the cross fertilization of the Artisan Sparking White Wine Vineyard and Winery tours. THE WINERY BUILDINGS: These are converted mainly from the old farm buildings and stables near the front boundaries of the property. All the equipment presently used and required to carry on with the production and storage for the Sparkling White Wine Vineyard and Winery are included in the current guide price. WINERY TASTING BUILDING: There is also a wooden building with a generous covered veranda area where avid wine enthusiasts after the vineyard and winery walk can taste the various wines produced by the Artisan Winery whilst enjoying the evening summer sunsets. The building has both electricity and water supply installed.GLAMPING SHOP: There is a wooden building close to where the glampers park their vehicles that is currently used for the purchase of general glamping food supplies. The building has electricity connected to it.STORAGE BUILDINGS: Beyond the old converted Winery buildings are further old farm buildings where there is a substantial area for storage, as well as the further farm buildings also housing the GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMP & AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS which provide efficient energy supplies for the main family Converted Barn residence. BUILDING PLOT POTENTIAL: Currently, the existing owners have been actively pursuing the possibility of obtaining planning permission for a bespoke single building plot for a luxury net carbon zero oak framed Tudor influence family residence to be located the far side of the easterly boundaries and to be set within roughly an acre plot. If successful or on appeal, the current higher guide price has been designed to include it within the purchase price of the main country house, in addition to the existing successful Glamping business, as well as the beneficial possibility of enhancing the Sparkling Wine production into an additional commercial enterprise.COUNCIL TAX BAND G For more details and to contact: https://realtyww.info/houses_battle-d197377/for-sale_i69237880
