Own Your Very Own Piece of Sussex Countryside Woodland Paradise!

This beautiful (circa1 acre in size) piece of land is set within this delightful, serene and tranquil woodland setting offering something really very special indeed within the highly desirable Sussex Countryside.

On the 16th June 2021 and under Horsham District Councils app number DC/21/0533, a planning application for a residential until was declined and again on appeal on 3rd February 2022. A copy of the refusal notice and appeal decision are available from the auctioneers office upon request.

It is the opinion of the auctioneer that the application was not fully researched correctly neither were the services of a planning consultant employed whilst the somewhat utilitarian design of the proposed dwelling is considered to be out of character with the surroundings and indeed the design of similar properties within Muttons Lane.

Notwithstanding the above, further thought might be given for a correctly populated planning application for a residential dwelling to be submitted again but with a design the local authority are much more likely to determine to be more of an acceptable nature. The land is also considered suitable for a variety of differing uses such as a Yoga retreat or a glamping venue for example.

THE FOREGOING IS THE OPINIION OF THE AUCTIONEERS ONLY WHILST ALL INTENDING BUYERS MUST SEEK THE CORRECT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE PRIOR TO MAKING A COMMITMENT TO PURCHASE.

From the Washington roundabout on the A24, head north for approximately 0.5 mile before turning left into the road signposted Thakeham and West Chiltington. Follow this road up the hill and as the road bears sharply to the left, turn right into Muttons Lane. The land can be found after a few hundred yards on the right hand side, immediately before the gardens and grounds of Woods Cottage.

Guide Prices

  1. A guide price (to include a range of prices), is not an indication of the anticipated eventual selling price or a valuation; it is an indication of the minimum price ( “the Reserve” ) at which (or range of prices within which) the seller might be prepared to sell. The eventual sale price can and frequently does, exceed the guide price.
  2. Where a range is given, the Reserve will sit within that range and will not exceed the top end of the range. Where a single figure Guide Price is given, the Reserve will be within 10%, upwards or downwards, of that figure.
  3. The guide price may be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction. The latest published guide price (or range of prices) is displayed on our website and you should check the website regularly for updates and on the day of the auction.
  4. All guide prices are quoted “subject to contract”.
  5. Please note the guide price for the Lot does not include:
    – any Buyers’ Fee charged by the auctioneers;
    – VAT on the sale price;
    – SOLT or any other Government taxes;
    – additional costs and fees charged by the seller or third parties that might apply to some Lots and/or some buyers.
  6. If a guide price is listed as “TBA”, it means no guide price has been set at present. Please do not call our office about this – the guide price, or range of prices, will be published online immediately it becomes available and you should check the auction website regularly for updates and on the day of the auction.

Reserve Prices
The reserve price is the minimum price at which the Lot can be sold.
