Description

An interesting and unique opportunity to acquire this business premises, set within just under an acre of woodland in this semi-rural location. The site has been owned for over 10 years and was originally occupied by a double decker bus until it was destroyed in 2023. It was replaced around three years ago by a two-storey cabin of approximately 40 sq.m., constructed from recycled materials. The cabin has been featured on Channel 4's George Clarke's Amazing Spaces and can be let for 12 months of the year. The surrounding area has potential for residential development, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable. The land is situated between Uckfield and Hailsham, just off the Lewes Road (B2124) and is approached via a private drive from Broomham Lane. There are excellent road links to Lewes, Eastbourne and all surrounding areas via the nearby A22 and A27. The accommodation comprises a living room and kitchen/dining area on the ground floor, and two double bedrooms and a shower room on the first floor accessed via a spiral staircase. Outside, the cabin is situated on just under an acre of woodland and features a decked area with steps down to a firepit and wood-fired hot tub. There is a parking area just off the lane with an office nearby comprising a small kitchen and a shower room housing the solar system with batteries and roof-mounted solar panels. Central heating and hot water for the cabin are fed by a Glow-worm combination boiler, and there are aluminium double-glazed windows and a living roof. Additional facilities include a Rice horsebox housing the back-up generator and two storage sheds, one with plumbing for a washing machine. The land extends to approximately 0.35 hectares (0.87 acres). Freehold with vacant possession.
