Hunters Moon is a well-proportioned detached 1920s residence with versatile accommodation of 5500 ft.² plus several outbuildings occupying mature gardens and paddocks of 7 acres at the end of a long driveway adjoining countryside which the present owners bought over 20 years ago when they extended the house and carried out several improvements although general updating is now required.
The accommodation offers great flexibility and would suit an extended family, those looking for home working space or alternative use subject to the necessary planning consents. The South Wing is approached through a grand reception hall and comprises some wonderful living rooms and bedrooms above and the North wing was added to create a first floor one bedroom flat and a ground floor wing for many dogs. The grounds: The property is approached over a long driveway and electronic gates which lead into a gravelled parking area which leads round to the front of the house. The beautiful and mature gardens surround the house and there are garages, large storage sheds and a studio/office building, both offer great potential for conversion into separate detached dwellings STPP. To the south and east of the house there are several Paddocks and stables. The owners were previously trying to sell the property with just 3.18 acres but have now decided to sell the property as a whole and are aware that there are planning possibilities. They have been approached by several developers and Pease Pottage is currently having a large-scale developments and new primary school built on the eastern side of the village. (other side of the A23) The property is currently outside the redevelopment area although with the many developments being granted planning consent in the county, we would envisage redevelopment potential is likely in years to come. A developer has shown great interest but wanted a 10-year optional for redevelopment which the owners are not prepared to consider. They are happy to sell the property with no covenants or overage agreements giving an incoming purchaser the freedom to consider all development possibilities.
