Honeysuckle Bottom, East Horsley, Leatherhead, Surrey, KT24

Located in a woodland setting on the edge of the Surrey Hills and Ranmore Common, approved planning permission (Guildford Borough Council Ref: 25/P/00085) for: Erection of self-build, replacement, two storey dwelling following demolition of existing dwelling and part of existing garage/carport.

The site is located within the Green Belt, the Surrey Hills National Landscape (formerly AONB) and an Area of Great Landscape Value (AGLV). The site is also within the East Horsley Neighbourhood Area.

The ‘Border Oak’ approved design is for a 4/5 bedroom, 4-bathroom home with 2/3 reception rooms, a kitchen/ breakfast/ family space and a utility room.

Situated in an ancient woodland with direct access to Effingham Forest and the North Downs Way, this is a haven for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. Birdwatchers are regularly rewarded with a sighting of the elusive Goshawk, whilst the changing seasons bring their own quiet drama — from the first bluebells of spring through to the rust and gold of an October morning. Yet for all its seclusion, everyday life remains entirely straightforward, with town amenities and transport links closer than you might imagine. It's the sort of place that's genuinely difficult to leave in the morning — and equally easy to come home to.

Interested parties should make their own investigations into the approved plans and build costs. Should you need any assistance on self-build finance, please do contact the agent for an introduction.
