1 bed detached house for sale

Cade Street, Heathfield TN21

Summary

The Barn forms a detached brick and stone barn that was originally converted in circa 1985, and now requires full modernisation and restoration. Within the original plans, under ref: Wd/1985/0422/F, planning was granted for extensions and a full layout, none of which were built, and presumed to have lapsed, although some of the conversion works were carried out, and were deemed to have started with Building Regs approval.

There are several outbuildings, including old pig-stys and hard-standings, forming more scope to enlarge the existing barn, or even create a further dwelling, subject to the necessary planning consents.

There are two accesses to the road, with the southern one providing access to the main area of parking, and the northern one providing access to the pig-stys and outbuildings. The plot is measured at approximately 0.679 acres, facing south west and offering fabulous views to the South Downs.

Externally, the property now needs structural support and renovation.

Internally, the property needs extensive works, to include new windows, insulation, electrics, plumbing and heating, flooring, internal walls and decor. There is a mains water connection, and there has been a main electricity connection, but we do not know about drainage, gas or telephony connections.

It is considered that there is ample scope to redevelop the site, either forming one larger dwelling, or perhaps a couple of houses, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The property is located in Cade Street, just outside Old Heathfield and a few miles from Heathfield Town Centre and close to the village of Broad Oak. Heathfield Community College is just around the corner.

Broad Oak is a small, popular village, with a small Budgens village store, post office, gym and hairdressers, the popular Tottingworth Park Farm Shop and a short distance to the renowned Lakedown Brewing Co taproom owned by pop legend Roger Daltrey.

There are Churches of various denominations & period Inns in the area. For more comprehensive facilities the nearest town is Heathfield, approximately 3 miles away, and the larger town of Royal Tunbridge Wells is approximately 12 miles to the north, and the coastal towns of Hastings and Eastbourne are approximately 30 minutes by car.

Stonegate train station is just over 5 miles from the property, with regular South Eastern trains to London Charing Cross, London Bridge, London Cannon Street, London Waterloo East, Tunbridge Wells and Hastings. Journey time to London Bridge is approximately 1 hour.

The area provides an excellent selection of both state primary schools (Parkside & Burwash Primary Schools are both rated Ofsted outstanding) and independent schools (Sacred Heart Wadhurst and Skippers Hill). Secondary options include Heathfield Community College, Mayfield Girls School, plus the area is on the private mini bus route for other independent schools such as Bedes and Claremont.
