Evergreen Cabin, Broomham Lane, Whitesmith, Lewes, East Sussex, BN8 6JQ
An interesting and unique opportunity to acquire this business premises, set within just under an acre of woodland in this semi-rural location. The site has been owned for over 10 years and was originally occupied by a double decker bus until it was destroyed in 2023. It was replaced around three years ago by a two-storey cabin of approximately 40 sq.m., constructed from recycled materials. The cabin has been featured on Channel 4's George Clarke's Amazing Spaces and can be let for 12 months of the year. The surrounding area has potential for residential development, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.
The land is situated between Uckfield and Hailsham, just off the Lewes Road (B2124) and is approached via a private drive from Broomham Lane. There are excellent road links to Lewes, Eastbourne and all surrounding areas via the nearby A22 and A27.
