Highdown Farm Ferring

Location

Ferring, A259

Original status

A 7,000 sq ft vacant and redundant nursery on the main A259 coast road.

Background

Purchased from regional surveyors.

Outcome

The majority of the farm was broken up and sold, including a site for a class B1 office building and a residential dwelling. The B1 industrial building was retained and let to PHS plc on a long-term lease and planning was obtained for 6,000 sq ft of additional employment space (B1/8) which is currently being constructed.

Both the original 7,000 sq ft building and the new 6,000 sq ft buildings will be retained in Church Barn’s portfolio.
