Description
An exceptional opportunity — approximately 9.35 acres adjoining Chobham Common, with existing residential and equestrian facilities and exciting development potential.
Occupying a secluded semi-rural position along one of Chobham’s most desirable wooded country lanes, this substantial property offers a rare combination of extensive grounds, existing accommodation and considerable flexibility for its next owner.
Formerly an established equestrian centre, the property could be retained in its current arrangement, comprising two existing residential units, large barns, outbuildings and stables, together with approximately two acres of hardstanding. The extensive facilities also offer scope to reinstate equestrian activities, subject to confirmation of the relevant lawful uses and any necessary consents.
For purchasers seeking to create a bespoke country home, the site benefits from existing planning permission for a substantial residence extending to approximately 19,000 sq ft. This provides an opportunity to create an exceptional home within extensive private grounds, while a revised scheme for a smaller residence could also be explored, subject to planning approval.
An alternative route is offered by positive pre-application advice from Surrey Heath Borough Council regarding redevelopment to provide two replacement dwellings. The Council has indicated that this is acceptable in principle, subject to detailed design, technical considerations and formal planning permission, presenting an appealing opportunity for purchasers considering two individual homes.
Directly adjoining the beautiful heathland of Chobham Common, the property enjoys an outstanding countryside setting while remaining conveniently placed for Chobham village and the surrounding Surrey towns.
Whether retained with its existing residential accommodation and extensive equestrian facilities, developed as a substantial country residence, or taken forward as a potential two-home scheme, this is an unusually versatile opportunity in a highly sought-after location.
NOTE: The two-dwelling redevelopment does not currently have planning permission. Pre-application advice is informal and does not bind the Council’s decision on a future application. Computer-generated images illustrate the proposed development rather than the property’s current appearance.
