Land for sale

WHY BUY THIS LAND?

This is an exceptional opportunity for you to own a well-located parcel of land and agricultural building, perfectly suited for equestrian use or potential residential development.

Close to 6 acres, this lush flat pasture land benefits from a 66 sq.m. timber frame barn by the entrance, towards the northern corner. It has been granted planning permission to remove this and build a new stable block, sand school & parking area.

There is an established treeline and shrubbery border around the majority of the land providing good privacy and attractive boundaries. A circle of trees surrounds a small pond at the centre of the land offering an additional charming feature.

The land is situated within an affluent area surrounded by stunning scenery and large characterful houses. It is just a short drive west of the commuter town of Lingfield and close to good transport links offering connections into London and the south coast.

It should also be noted that two barns, which were part of the original farm as the land for sale, have been granted planning to convert into residential dwellings, giving this land some development potential.

PLANNING

The property benefits from planning permission for the demolition of an existing barn and the erection of a new stable block (consisting of 4 stables, feed store & tack room) and a 20m x 40m sand school, with associated parking area and muck bay (Planning Ref. TA/2022/535). This also includes a change of use of land from agriculture to equestrian.

The land is situated within the Tandridge Green Belt. Any further development or change of use would be subject to the appropriate permission.

LAND VALUES

Pasture land prices in the region are 15% higher than the average as land values continued to rise last quarter. In the past year, land values have risen 6%, outperforming the FTSE 100, UK house prices and interest from savings in the bank.

These increases are also outpacing inflation as land continues to be seen as a tangible safe-haven for investment. Investors are also competing with a wide variety of lifestyle and environmentally-motivated buyers as demand once again outstrips supply.

This imbalance between supply and demand doesn't look to change and will continue to drive up land values.

METHOD OF SALE
