Description
Guide Price: £20,000*
A small freehold plot of approximately 302.89 sq m (subject to measured survey) at the edge of a field off Hogscross Lane and Church Lane, opposite St Margaret's Church, Chipstead, in Green Belt countryside.
The Land
Parcel A53 extends to approximately 302.89 sq m (3,260 sq ft), subject to measured survey. It lies at the north-western edge of a field, along the tree belt beside Hogscross Lane and opposite St Margaret's Church. A public footpath appears to run across the plot. The plot appears to be one of a number of parcels within the wider field. Its boundaries, rights of access and any covenants are set out in the legal pack.
The land may suit amenity or conservation use. It is not offered as development land.
Planning
The land is in the Metropolitan Green Belt and lies within the setting of St Margaret's Church, a listed medieval church. There is no planning permission, and none should be assumed. Councils sometimes restrict fencing or other works on subdivided fields, and a public footpath must not be obstructed. Buyers must check with the local planning authority and take independent planning advice before bidding.
The Location
Chipstead is a small village in the Surrey countryside, close to Coulsdon. Coulsdon South station has trains to London Victoria and London Bridge, and the A23, M23 and M25 are within easy reach. Farthing Downs and Coulsdon town centre are nearby.
The Auction
[Lot TBC] will be offered at Palace Auctions London's live and online auction at Claridge's, Brook Street, Mayfair, London W1K 4HR, on Wednesday 28 October 2026 at 12 noon, unless sold prior. You can bid in the room, online, by telephone or by proxy. The sale is conducted under the RICS Common Auction Conditions.
Guide price: £20,000*
Deposit: 10%, payable on exchange
Buyer's premium: £2,000 + VAT

The legal pack, including the title, plan, covenants and special conditions, is available before the auction. Buyers should read it, check the addendum for any extra charges, and take independent legal and planning advice before bidding.
