Oakland's farm offers a unique, diverse and exceptional opportunity, located in the rolling Sussex countryside and an area of outstanding natural beauty, yet still within the A23 commuter belt (although you wouldn't know) providing access to London, Gatwick and the South coast. The farm benefit's from planning permission for a large 5/6 bedroom detached eco house to be centrally located within the plot. Currently run as a working livery and consisting of just over 22 acres of agricultural land with permission for equestrian use (further field of approximately 6 acres available via separate negotiation), in addition to the land there are multiple buildings and facilities on the site including 24 stables, indoor and outdoor riding schools, training pen plus many more. For the farms full potential to be appreciated for residential and commercial use (subject to necessary consents) we highly recommend a viewing.
