Willow House and South Lodge, Redwood Drive, Epsom, Surrey, KT19

FOR SALE FREEHOLD BY INFORMAL TENDER.
An exciting and prominently located re-development/refurbishment opportunity in the Surrey Commuter Belt.


DESCRIPTION
The entire site extends to approximately 1.36 acres (0.55 hectares) upon which are 2 properties, Willow - a Horseshoe shaped 2 storey early/mid-20th century building measuring approx. 5,335 sq ft (495.6 sqm) GIA and South Lodge - previously a detached 4 bedroom house arranged on ground and first floors originally used as staff accommodation but thereafter used as consulting rooms, measuring approx. 1,835 sq ft (170.49 sqm) GIA including a Conservatory. There is a generous car parking area to the rear of the property. Both buildings are in an extremely poor state of repair and would require full refurbishment if they were to be retained. We advised as to the presence of Asbestos within Willow, further details of which can be made available on request.

This remaining land parcel immediately abuts Estate Housing that was created as part of the redevelopment of the “Epsom Cluster” hospital building. Given this, subject to the constraints of the Green Belt, protected trees, and successful mitigating arguments against the loss of a Community Use, the site is considered suitable (STPP) for Residential Development.

The site is also considered suitable (STPP) for its existing use (as Offices B1/Class E) or alternatively (STPP) residential within Class C3 (including Sheltered or Retirement), Care Home use (Class C2), Medical, Dental or Clinical Use (Class E) or Restaurant/Pub (Class E) or Education/Day Nursery/Religious Purposes (Class F1).

There is mains water, electricity, gas and drainage supplied to the property.

LOCATION
The Site is in the Horton Area of Epsom with the many amenities of Epsom Town Centre within 1.1 miles of the property. Epsom enjoys excellent road communications into Southwest and Central London as well as the M25. There are regular commuter services into London Waterloo (36 Minutes) and London Victora (45 minutes) from Epsom Station. The open space of Horton Country Park is within a very short distance from the property and the area is well served by a number of state and fee-paying schools.

PLANNING
Purchasers should enquire of Epsom and Ewell Borough Council. Neither of the buildings are the subject of a statutory listing or are Non-Designated Heritage Assets. The property is situated within the Metropolitan Green Belt but is not located within a Conservation Area. There are a number of trees protected by Preservation Orders on the site. Its most recent use was within the Mental Health Sector with previous uses most likely falling within Class C2, D1 (now E) B1 and C3 (South Lodge). Further details regarding the planning history and the national and local planning policy contacts are available on request.
