Land for sale in Charlwood, Surrey

Woodland & grazing land for sale with paddock & investment potential well situated near Horley, Crawley, Horsham, the A24 and M23 & M25

Stan Hill, Charlwood, Surrey, RH6 0ES

Why buy land for sale in Charlwood?

A wonderful opportunity to own a parcel of lush grazing land or mature woodland within a much sought after area of Surrey. Totalling approximately 32 acres, the land is surrounded by thick woodland belts and benefits from road frontage. Access to the lots has been greatly improved by the current vendor. A new gated entrance, set back from the road has been installed providing easier & safer access.

The area has a strong equestrian influence and there are two separate bridleway networks approximately 1 mile from the land. There are several riding schools & livery yards nearby and for the horse racing enthusiast there are Lingfield and Epsom racecourses close by.

The land is located on the western edge of Charlwood; a wealthy and historic village located within the affluent county of Surrey, just inside the county border with Sussex. It lies north of Crawley and west of London Gatwick Airport and the M23 motorway; a road that links the site to London and the M25. With the benefit of excellent transport links, Charlwood has become a much sought after commuter village.

This has put pressure on the green belt and the local Council have approved 135 applications to build on green belt land in the past 5 years. This could accordingly add strong investment and development potential to the site in the long-term.

Access

The land benefits from extensive road frontage onto Blanks Lane. Access to the lots has been greatly improved by the current vendor. A new double-gated access, set back from the road has been installed in Lot 1 providing easier & safer access to the lots. Full vehicular right of way is provided to all lots via an easement (shown blue on the site plan).

Method of Sale

The land is offered for sale by private treaty as a whole or in lots. The freehold is available with vacant possession upon completion.

Local Development

The Mole Valley District Council’s Core Strategy that was adopted in October 2009, sets out planning policies that guide new development in the District up until 2026. It states that:

“From 2016-2017 indicative Housing Trajectory indicates that it could be necessary to develop land that is in the Green Belt in order to meet the housing requirements for the period 2016 to 2026.”

On the 18th August 2015, the Dorking and Leatherhead Advertiser reported that:

“135 applications to build on green-belt land in the district have been approved by Mole Valley District Council in the past five years, despite public opposition.

In 2014/15, 19 applications to build on green-belt land were given permission, while six have so far been awarded consent in 2015/16, as of July.”

Planning

The land is designated as green belt and Lots 10 & 11 are designated as Ancient Woodland. Any development would be subject to the appropriate planning permission.

Land values rise by 3% in the last quarter.

Land values continued to rise last year and even managed to outpace inflation, according to the Knight Frank Farmland Index. Following a 3% increase in the last quarter, farmland outperformed other asset classes such as gold, equities and residential property in the past 12 months. Furthermore, the average price of land in this area is 11% higher than the average.
