Description

4,500 sqm agricultural grazing land for sale in Warlingham, Surrey CR6 – 18 plots sold as one lot, guide price £30,000, at the junction of Washpond Lane and Ledgers Way.

The Land

This is a single lot of 18 contiguous plots of agricultural grazing land, totalling approximately 4,500 sqm (1.11 acres), at the junction of Washpond Lane and Ledgers Way, Warlingham, Surrey. The land is currently laid to pasture with well-defined boundaries and direct access from both roads.

Sold as one parcel rather than individually, this gives a buyer a substantial holding in a single transaction, with a definitive plan of the plots available on request.

The Location

Warlingham sits within the Tandridge district, a semi-rural area known for its rolling countryside, equestrian facilities, and proximity to the North Downs. The land benefits from excellent road access via the A22 and A25, with the M25 just 6.5 miles away.

Woldingham and Upper Warlingham stations both offer direct rail services to London Victoria and London Bridge — a strong draw for commuters looking at land in the London commuter belt.

Amenity and Hope Value

This lot offers two distinct types of appeal. Amenity value covers its suitability for private recreation, equestrian use, or as a lifestyle plot — the open, semi-rural setting suits buyers wanting privacy or leisure space close to London.

Hope value reflects the potential for future uplift should planning permission for alternative uses ever be secured. While currently designated agricultural, the site's proximity to established settlements and infrastructure adds to its long-term appeal, subject to Tandridge District Council planning policy.

Market Context

At a guide price of £30,000, this works out at approximately £27,027 per acre or £6.67 per sqm — competitive against typical UK agricultural grazing land values of £8,000–£12,000 per acre, and well below amenity land in desirable locations, which can command £20,000–£50,000+ per acre. Comparable local lots have achieved guide prices of £35,000+ for agricultural use.

Buying Considerations

No Stamp Duty Land Tax is payable on this purchase, as it falls below the £150,000 threshold for non-residential land. Successful buyers register the land with HM Land Registry following completion. Any change of use from agricultural grazing will require full planning permission from Tandridge District Council.

Who This Suits

This lot appeals to a broad range of buyers: investors seeking long-term capital growth, equestrian enthusiasts and lifestyle buyers wanting a rural plot near London, and local residents looking for additional land as a buffer or recreational space.

The Auction

This lot is entered as Lot 47 in Palace Auctions' live and online property auction on 23rd September 2026 at 12 noon, held at the St James Room, Claridge's, Mayfair, London, with online bidding available worldwide. A deposit and buyer's fee are payable on the fall of the hammer, with completion typically within 28 days. The full legal pack and a definitive plan of the plots are available on request. Independent legal and financial advice is recommended before bidding.
