This listing presents an opportunity to purchase a sizable plot of land in Crowborough, East Sussex. The land itself encompasses approximately 1.03 acres and is described as pasture with mature woodland. The photos reveal a mostly undeveloped parcel, with some existing structures on the land and evidence of previous use, and the surrounding natural environment is predominantly woodland.

The location in Crowborough places it relatively close to transport links via the Crowborough train station (Govia Thameslink Railway) as well as several well-regarded schools including Ashdown Primary School, St Marys Catholic Primary School, and Grove Park School. This makes it a potentially desirable area for development, although some distance from the town centre may make it less convenient for some buyers.

The absence of a building implies significant development costs. The photos indicate that the land requires significant preparation, likely encompassing clearing, potentially remediation, and any necessary planning permissions.

The price point of £100,000 is a key factor. While nearby property prices vary significantly, ranging from £410,000 for semi-detached houses to millions for larger properties, this price appears reasonable for a plot of this size in this location, particularly considering the undeveloped state of the land. Potential buyers should thoroughly investigate associated costs, including but not limited to planning permission, groundworks and any other costs that may come with such an undertaking. The absence of explicit detail about the permitted use of the land is also a significant consideration which would need to be ascertained from the seller and/or the local council. Overall, this property offers substantial potential but requires careful evaluation of development costs and planning regulations before any serious consideration is given.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
