Enjoying what are perhaps some of the finest views in Mayfield, Pond House looks out across the Rother Valley, and provides a house/buidling plot with planning permission to be demolished and rebuilt with full planning and building regulations approval for a 2,800 sq.ft house over three floors, all designed to make the most of the views, whilst being central yet located on a quiet, single track lane within the centre of the village. EPC Rating: D. NO CHAIN.
This is a rather unique opportunity to purchase a development plot with the benefit of planning permission to replace the existing house with a much larger property of a similar design, but to include an additional floor, renewable energy supply and garaging.
Currently the property comprises a hallway, utility room, kitchen, sitting room and a dining room, four bedrooms, en-suite and bathroom. The property presents brick and weatherboarded and tile hung elevations beneath a tiled roof.
There is planning permission, under ref WD/2022/0842/F providing an option to knock down and rebuild the existing house, with a house of a similar style and moving the house slightly backwards in its plot, and adding a lower ground floor area, as well as increasing the overall footprint to approximately 2,800 sq.ft. in and adding a sensational upper ground floor raised terrace and entertaining area, and an attached garage.
The plot totals around 1/3 of an acre, with extensive views out across the Rother Valley beyond, and direct access to footpaths, plus easy access to the centre of the Village. Full planning documentation is available upon request, and three tenders received by the owners will also be made available. Build costs, for a top end build to include a lift, were tendered between £850,000 and £900,000. The estimated end value will be circa £1,750,000.
Location:
The property is situated in The Avenue, a narrow little lane right in the centre of the village, just yards from the High Street and all the amenities on offer.
