2 bed detached bungalow for sale

Sandy Lane, Storrington RH20

***guide price £375,000 - £400,000***Presenting a rare development opportunity in the heart of the South Downs, a generous plot of approximately 0.6 of an acre, nestled amongst mature woodland and set away from main roads for ultimate privacy. This unique property sits on a charming south-facing slope within a historic area on the outskirts of Storrington, forming part of the original ‘Sanctuary’ cottages. Approached via a private drive, the plot is home to a detached two-bedroom timber-framed bungalow and a separate garage, both positioned centrally within the grounds. The detached garage with an up-and-over door, along with power, lighting, and a rear access door.

The bungalow, constructed by one of Vera’s original group, has remained within the same family for over a century and retains much of its original character. Now in a state of general disrepair, the property stands as a blank canvas, offering significant scope for restoration, redesign, or redevelopment (subject to the necessary planning permissions). The plots size, aspect, and location within such a coveted setting will appeal to both passionate end users seeking to create their dream home and professional developers considering subdivision into two plots, subject to local council approval.

The peaceful setting is enhanced by the presence of mature trees and informal wild meadows, creating a tranquil environment. The location is particularly desirable, being walkable to the South Downs Way and offering a rare sense of seclusion while still within easy reach of Storrington’s amenities. This is a highly sought-after opportunity for those looking to invest in a substantial plot with outstanding potential, whether for a bespoke self-build project or for further development. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the scope and setting of this exceptional plot.
