Headley Heath Approach, Tadworth, KT20

An Exciting Development Opportunity in a Superb Semi-Rural Setting

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a detached chalet bungalow with significant development potential, occupying a generous plot in a wonderful semi-rural location on the edge of Headley Heath and Box Hill. With a desirable south-westerly aspect and views towards adjoining fields, the property offers considerable scope for buyers looking to create a bespoke home, undertake a development project or provide independent accommodation for extended family.

Importantly, planning consent has already been granted for the creation of an additional detached dwelling within the plot, alongside separate consent to substantially extend and remodel the existing bungalow.

Mole Valley Borough Council has granted planning permission (MO/2025/02243) to extend and convert the existing outbuilding to create a new detached studio chalet bungalow, with the plot divided to provide a separate dwelling in addition to the existing home. This presents an exciting opportunity for development, while a future owner may also wish to explore amendments to the approved design, subject to the necessary consents.

The existing detached chalet bungalow provides flexible and well-proportioned accommodation. On the ground floor are two double bedrooms and a shower room, together with a comfortable sitting room featuring an attractive fireplace. From here, a bright garden room enjoys a lovely outlook across the south-westerly plot, while the kitchen is finished in a contemporary, neutral style. Upstairs is an additional versatile room which could serve as a third bedroom, home office or study.

Further planning consent (MO/2023/0836) has been granted to redesign and extend the existing bungalow, creating a more contemporary three-bedroom home with an open-plan kitchen/dining room, sitting room, principal bedroom with en suite and additional family bathroom.

Outside and to the front, a gated driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles, with mature natural screening offering privacy from the quiet lane, and a raised deck adjoining the kitchen and garden room provides a private and sunny place to sit and enjoy the outlook, while the rear garden extends to approximately 75' x 50'. There is also a single garage and substantial outbuilding with power and lighting.

The property occupies an appealing semi-rural position approximately 22 miles south of London and close to National Trust Box Hill, within the beautiful Surrey Hills landscape.  Nearby bridleways, footpaths and country lanes provide access to extensive open countryside, including Headley Heath, Box Hill, Walton Heath and Mickleham Common, making this an excellent setting for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors. The surrounding area is also well served by a broad selection of schools, together with numerous sporting, leisure and cultural amenities.

Despite its rural surroundings, the property is well placed for access to Dorking, Reigate, Leatherhead and Epsom. Nearby villages, including Walton on the Hill and Tadworth, provide a good selection of everyday amenities and transport connections. The M25 is readily accessible via Reigate at Junction 8 or Leatherhead at Junction 9, while a railway station approximately three miles away provides services to London Waterloo in around 50 minutes.
