Botany Hill, Farnham, Surrey

An attractive parcel of land in a highly desirable semi-rural setting, offering potential for a one-off self-build home, subject to obtaining all necessary planning consents.

The land occupies a private and well-established position in The Sands, Farnham, set amongst mature trees and existing residential properties. The plot gently rises away from the road, creating an interesting opportunity for a carefully designed, discreet and environmentally conscious home that responds sensitively to its woodland surroundings.

The site is currently offered without planning permission and lies within both the Green Belt and Surrey Hills National Landscape. However, its position between existing dwellings provides a potential basis for exploring development as limited infilling, with Waverley Borough Council’s planning policy DM14 allowing limited infilling within villages in appropriate circumstances.

The site extends to approximately 0.57 hectares (1.4 acres) as shown on the historic plan and benefits from an attractive, mature setting which could lend itself particularly well to a high-quality individual home with a strong emphasis on architecture, sustainability and landscaping.

Any purchaser would need to undertake their own investigations and obtain the necessary planning permission, together with appropriate advice regarding access, trees, ecology, Green Belt and landscape considerations.

A rare opportunity for a self-builder or developer looking to explore the potential for an individual home in one of Farnham’s most sought-after semi-rural locations.
