Lot 1 – The Calf Barn Guide price £250,000

The Calf Barn is a single storey concrete portal frame barn, with red brick walls. The building benefits from a range of former stable doors as well as large openings on both of the gable ends. The barn has a gross external area of approximately 2,030 square feet (188 square meters).

To the east of the barn there is a charming flint walled yard with the base of an old cart barn running along the northern wall. A larger grass paddock lies to the south of the yard, surrounded by flint walls.

Access into the yard and paddock is available via 5 bar gates off the road.

Lot 1 extends to approximately 0.75 acres in total, with a separate grass paddock area lying to the south of the yard. Access is available via five bar gates into the yard and into the paddock to the south.

Lot 2 – The Land Guide price £250,000

The land extends to some 10.58 acres (4.28 ha) or thereabouts and lies in a single contiguous block with gated access directly from the public road. The land has been in arable production in recent years, and is classified Grade III under the former land classification system, being chalky loam over chalk. The land now offers purchasers opportunities for viticultural use, or for grazing purposes. The field (known as Gratton Field) is on a gentle southerly slope between 5 and 15 metres above sea level, is bounded by a mixture of flint wall and stock-proof fencing and benefits from wonderful southerly views to the spire of Bishopstone Church and over the surrounding South Downs.

Access: Both lots have direct vehicular access through five bar gates from the public road.

This property has 11.33 acres of land.

Situation

The property is exceptionally well situated, in an attractive and easily accessible rural location within the small village of Bishopstone, within the South Downs National Park. Bishopstone is a downland village renowned for its medieval church and picturesque houses, located just inland from Seaford on the Sussex coast. Seaford has a range of local facilities, including supermarket, pharmacy, schools and doctors surgery. More substantial facilities are available in Newhaven or the county town of Lewes. This area of the South Downs is becoming increasingly well known for its vineyards, and for viticulture tourism ventures. Of particular note is the Rathfinny Wine Estate, which is situated above Alfriston, approximately 2 miles (as the crow flies) to the east of Bishopstone.
