Lower Lodge is a derelict, Grade II listed, former gate lodge at the entrance to Stopham House. The building is believed to date from the 1870's, with a later addition, and has not been occupied since 1965, since when the building has significantly deteriorated into its now very derelict state. Planning consent has been granted for the restoration, extension and reinstatement of residential use for the building. The plans allow a unique opportunity for an ingoing purchaser to rebuild the original structure, as well as add on a significant extension to create a stunning 'one-off' home.
The property sits within private grounds, which also require reinstatement, and extends to about 0.36 of an acre.
The property is located at the entrance to Stopham House (now divided into private apartments), within the parish of the historic small hamlet of Stopham, which is steeped in history and is mentioned in the Domesday Book that records 'a manor of Stopham or Stopeham'. The Barttelot family has held the manor since the Norman Conquest and at the heart of the village is the picturesque Anglo Saxon church of St Mary the Virgin. The nearest day-to-day shopping facilities can be found at Pulborough (about 2.8 miles) with village shops and also Sainsbury and Tesco supermarkets. Pulborough main line rail station has services to London Bridge and Victoria (about 80 mins) and the Sussex coast. Storrington, (about 8 miles) to the south-east has a Waitrose supermarket. The ancient market town of Petworth with a wide range of independent and specialist shops lies to the west (about 5.5 miles). More extensive facilities are at Haslemere (about 16 miles) to the north-west, Horsham (about 16 miles) to the north-east and Chichester (about 18.5 miles) to the south-west. There are a good selection of both state and independent schools locally with the excellent Fittleworth village school close by. The Weald secondary and 6th Form college is within a ten minute drive. Dorset House prep school is about 10 mins away. Westbourne House, Farlington, Seaford College are also within easy reach. Sporting facilities include golf at several local clubs including The West Sussex Golf Club, racing, motor racing, golf and flying at Goodwood; polo and golf at Cowdray and sailing from Chichester Harbour.
Planning consent was granted on 25th October 2019 for the Proposed Restoration and Extension to Lower Lodge and reinstatement of residential use, see SDNP/19/01549/FUL. The planning documentation is available to view online or is available from the agents, upon request. The vendor will not give permission for anyone to live on site while construction is taking place.
COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY (CIL) and VALUE ADDED TAX (VAT)
A condition of the planning consent is that a CIL of £39,000 will be payable to Horsham District Council shortly after the commencement of the development. Our understanding is that the redevelopment of the property will be classified as a new build and will therefore be zero rated for VAT purposes. However, we strongly advise the purchaser seeks their own advice with regards to this.
Mains water is available for connection at the property. The ingoing purchaser will need to make their own arrangements to connect to the mains gas supply, more information is available from the agents. The purchaser will also need to make their own arrangements for the installation of a private drainage system.
An inspection of the site is possible, but only by prior appointment with the agents. The structure of the existing building is in a very dangerous state and all visitors are instructed that access beyond the safety fencing is strictly prohibited. A closer inspection can be arranged by appointment and with confirmation that any necessary safety equipment is in place. Children and pets are strictly prohibited from entering the property.
