This generous 24.32 acre plot of land for development offers a once in a lifetime opportunity and is set within Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the heart of the stunning High Weald National Landscape and surrounded by picturesque rolling fields, woodland and meadows.

the rear there will be sweeping curves, sunken
terracing and viewing areas with full-height
windows, making the most of the stunning
landscape that stretches out beyond.
