Why buy the barn & land for sale in Newchapel, Lingfield?

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 66m2 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.

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.

No overage

There is no overage or clawback on this land – rare in today’s land market.
