Prime South Farnham Building Plot with Full Planning Permission – Rare Self-Build Opportunity

Keats Fearn Estate Agents are delighted to present an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a prime South Farnham building plot, complete with full planning permission (Ref: WA/2022/02046) for a substantial four-bedroom detached family home extending to approximately 2,778 sq. ft. plus a 322 sq. ft. garage.

Set on a 0.3 acre plot, the land is approached via a long private drive, offering both privacy and seclusion, together with commanding views across the Bourne Woods – one of the most sought-after locations in Farnham.


Location

The plot lies on one of South Farnham’s most desirable residential roads, close to The Bourne Woods, Ridgway Road and Lower Bourne village. Amenities nearby include a Tesco Express, bakery, butcher, pub, GP surgery, pharmacy and the Bourne Racquets Club (tennis, badminton, squash, bridge, snooker, table tennis).

Families will benefit from proximity to highly regarded local schools, including South Farnham School, Weydon and Frensham Heights. Farnham’s mainline station is within a mile, providing a fast service to London Waterloo in under an hour. Road links are excellent, with easy access to the A31, A3, M3 and M25.


Lifestyle

This South Farnham plot for sale offers not only a home, but a lifestyle. Residents enjoy walking, cycling and horse riding in The Bourne Woods and RSPB land, sailing at Frensham Great Pond, and a vibrant town centre with historic Georgian streets, cafés, restaurants, a Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, David Lloyd Club and a new 6-screen cinema.


Key Benefits for Self-Builders

  • Significant Stamp Duty Savings – Duty is payable on the land only, not the finished property.

  • Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Exemption – Approx. £110,000 saving available.

  • Full Planning Permission Granted – Immediate ability to commence your build.

  • No Chain – Smooth and straightforward purchase process.

  • Rare Freehold Plot – A truly unique chance in this prestigious area.


Summary

This is a unique South Farnham self-build opportunity – design and construct a superb family home in one of Surrey’s most desirable settings. With planning permission secured, no chain, and substantial financial advantages for self-builders, this plot offers both an idyllic lifestyle and an excellent investment, with a potential finished value of around £1.5 million (subject to specification).


Directions

Leave Farnham via Firgrove Hill. At the main crossroads, continue straight across onto the Frensham Road. Turn right into Aveley Lane where the land can be found on the left-hand side. Follow the long private drive down to the plot.
