New Pond Farm presents purchasers with a fantastic opportunity to acquire a mixed grassland and a former fruit farm in a secluded and tranquil yet well connected location in East Sussex. The farm comprises a four bedroom farmhouse (subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition), and an extensive range of traditional and commercial farm buildings. In all the farm constitutes approximately 164.38 acres (66.55 hectares).

History New Pond Farm was purchased in 1960 by Denis McKay, a fruiterer from London who bought the farm to provide produce for his retail outlets and in time the farm became very productive. To this day there is a plethora of former top fruit orchards that are strategically positioned across the farm and the fruit trees remain. The family moved to New Pond Farm from London and each of them worked on the farm in a hands on way, each of the children earning their crust. In more recent years the farm has ceased fruit production but has been run as a mixed livestock enterprise.

At the entrance to the farm lies New Pond Farmhouse, a recently refurbished four bedroom farmhouse (subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition), with large reception rooms, swimming pool and garaging. Three collections of farm buildings. Static caravan (with a Certificate of Lawful Use) set in a wonderful unspoilt location in the centre of the farm, surrounded by rolling grassland, woodland and trees.
