Beyond to the right is the main front formal garden laid to lawn with some specimen trees and shrubs.

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
