Land at Beech Farm Barn, Beech Farm Road, Warlingham, Surrey

[LOT TBC] – 1.89 Acres of Freehold Land, Limpsfield Road, Warlingham, Surrey
Guide Price: £40,000*

A 1.89-acre freehold plot of land in Warlingham, Surrey, with direct road access from Limpsfield Road. It offers rare long-term potential on the Surrey/Kent border. Guide price £40,000.

The Location

This freehold parcel sits on Limpsfield Road (B269) in Warlingham, directly opposite 1 Worms Heath Cottages. Warlingham village, Oxted and Caterham are all within easy reach, and Croydon and central London are a straightforward run via the M25.

For commuters, Upper Warlingham and Whyteleafe stations are close by, with trains to London Victoria and London Bridge. That makes this a rare rural plot within easy reach of the capital.

The Plot

The plot measures 1.89 acres (7,666 sq m) and is registered at HM Land Registry under title number SY794740, outlined in red on the title plan. It has direct vehicular access straight off Limpsfield Road, which is a rarity for a parcel of this size.

The land is currently suited to agricultural, equestrian or amenity use. There may be scope for modest rural buildings, subject to Green Belt policy and planning permission.

Planning and Long-Term Potential

The site lies within the Metropolitan Green Belt, so residential or commercial development is not currently permitted. However, Tandridge District Council is preparing its new Local Plan (2024–2044). National planning policy now also allows "grey belt" land to be considered for release. For buyers looking for Green Belt land in Surrey with long-term potential, this plot is well worth considering.

The plot lies outside the Surrey Hills National Landscape (formerly the Surrey Hills AONB). Its regular shape, direct road frontage and closeness to established settlements could work in its favour if policy changes. There is no guarantee of future planning permission, and buyers should make their own enquiries with Tandridge District Council.

Local Amenities

Warlingham village has a village green, independent shops, cafés and everyday essentials, with supermarkets and leisure facilities close by. Local schools include Warlingham Village Primary, Warlingham School, Hazelwood, Woldingham and Caterham School.

The surrounding countryside of open fields, ancient woodland and National Trust common land makes the area popular for walking and riding.

*Guide price plus buyer's premium and fees. A guide price shows the seller's current minimum acceptable price at auction. The reserve will not be more than 10% above a single-figure guide.

What I changed besides the date:

Grey belt wording: it's now part of national planning policy, not "emerging". I also toned down the "strong long-term prospect" line and added a note that there's no guarantee of planning permission. A buyer could hold you to a stronger claim under consumer protection rules.
Surrey Hills: the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty was renamed the Surrey Hills National Landscape in 2023, so I've updated the name.
Viewings: I added "at their own risk" to the site-walking line.
Fees: the buyer's premium and fees for this lot aren't stated. Tell me the figures and I'll add them, as on the other listings.

The council's Local Plan consultation closed on 1 March 2026, so the plan is still in progress.
