General remarks and information

Situation
The property is situated in an unspoilt rural location part way along Possingworth Lane in between the villages of Blackboys and Waldron. Set in the heart of The High Weald, and accessed via a private farm drive, the approach to the property has far reaching views across open farmland to countryside beyond. The towns of Heathfield and Uckfield are approximately 3 miles to the east and 4½ miles to the west respectively.

After approximately 1¾ miles turn left into Possingworth Lane, signposted Waldron and Horam. After approximately 1/3 mile take the farm track on the righthand side, next to red letter box, and the workshops will be found two hundred yards along this on the lefthand side.

Alternatively from Uckfield High Street head east on the B2102 through Framfield to the T junction with the B2192 at Blackboys. Turn left and after approximately a third of a mile turn right into Possingworth Lane and follow the directions as per above

Description
The property provides for a rare opportunity to acquire a small industrial estate in a sought after rural, yet accessible, location close to the village of Blackboys. Within three converted traditional farm buildings, there are 7 light industrial/storage and office units, ranging in size and let under ongoing licences, which currently realise £34,320 per annum in rent. The fourth traditional barn (2,300 sq ft) has the benefit of planning consent to change its use into a three bedroom live/work unit, having previously been used as a gymnasium. All services to this building are established. Infrastructure works necessary for a comprehensive conversion are estimated at about £75,000. There is also parking for up to 25 cars.

Services
The property is supplied by mains electricity, water, telephone and shared private septic tank drainage.

Tenure
The property is subject to various annual licences, established under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, which will remain in place on completion.

Town & Country Planning
As mentioned above, Barn A, as shown on the site plan attached to these particulars, has the benefit of planning permission, established under application number WD/2005/0900/F, for conversion into a detached three bedroomed live/work unit. Building Regulations have been approved under application number F/056/0834. Both sets of documents, with other relevant papers, can be viewed at our offices upon request. The complex is curtilage, listed due to its proximity to Possingworth Manor, however, on the precedent set above it is considered possible that other units could be converted to residential elements subject to the making and obtaining of appropriate consents.
