DESCRIPTION: Do not miss out on this very rare opportunity to purchase probably the most desirably located property in the beautiful and sought after semi-rural area of Arlington in East Sussex.

This large 4/5 bedroom detached house also set within its own grounds of just over half an acre which, as a result, of the garden size and also having two separate road access points, provides the possible opportunity for either a separate annex and garage complex to be located away from the house, or even for a new bespoke dwelling or dwellings subject to planning.

The existing house already has 4/5 double bedrooms arranged over two floors, as well as an adjoining triple garage complex, which could be converted into a large adjoining internal annex, or for more accommodation in general for the main house. Furthermore, there is ample opportunity to build over the triple garaging subject to planning.
