Old Lane, Dockenfield, Farnham, Surrey, GU10

Opportunity to acquire a plot with planning permission to convert a stable building into a one bedroom dwelling.

Description

The plot at The Stables on Old Lane is situated within the idyllic and picturesque countryside village of Dockenfield, which has a pub, The Blue Bell, and a church and there are many well supported community events and clubs including the annual Dockenfield Day village fete.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a plot of approx. 0.24 acres with planning permission granted (Planning Application WA/2023/02489) to convert a stable building into a one bedroom dwelling with open plan kitchen/dining/breakfast/reception room, study, bathroom and guest cloakroom.

The council has not removed Permitted Development (PD) rights and therefore, the dwelling could be further extended by utilising Local Plan policies for extensions to dwellings in the countryside. The extent of the PD extensions could create a gross external floorplan of approximately 228.5 m sq.
