THE LAND
A broadly square freehold plot of about 1,012 sq m (10,893 sq ft / 0.25 acre). It is gently sloping open grassland with wide views over wooded Surrey countryside. The plot is part of a site laid out in numbered plots with access ways between them, between the A31 Hog's Back and the Pilgrims' Way. The title benefits from rights granted by earlier transfers, so buyers should check the access rights in the legal pack. There is no planning permission.
LOCATION
Compton is a historic village about three miles west of Guildford, just below the Hog's Back, and home to the Watts Gallery Artists' Village. The A31 and A3 are alongside, and Guildford, Farncombe and Godalming stations are a short drive away. The Pilgrims' Way and the North Downs countryside are close by.
PLANNING
The local authority is Guildford Borough Council. The land is understood to be in the Metropolitan Green Belt and in a protected landscape setting close to, or within, the Surrey Hills National Landscape. Buyers should take their own planning advice.
TENURE
