Scotland Lane, Haslemere, Surrey

A rare opportunity to acquire a single building plot on a site of just over 2 acres with consent for an architect designed ‘Arts and Crafts’ influenced family home of 4,230 square feet, plus triple garage with studio over of 980 square feet, located on the edge of Haslemere town. In the agent’s opinion, there is scope for a purchaser to obtain permission for a bespoke dwelling in an alternative architectural style, if desired, subject to consents. The gently sloping site offers breath taking panoramic southerly views towards Blackdown National Trust and the South Downs National Park yet is conveniently located for walkable access to Haslemere town facilities. The site itself forms a large paddock fronting Scotland Lane from which it is well screened by trees, affording a high degree of privacy.

Full details of the planning approval can be reviewed via the council’s web site (under planning reference WA/2025/02165)

Accommodation: The permission affords:
5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, reception hallway, living room, kitchen dining/entertainment room, family room, utility room, boot room, cloakroom. Triple garage with studio over.
