LOT 1 CHADHURST FARM AND GRANARY – 198.91 acres
Chadhurst Farm is an appealing and well-positioned farmstead, situated in a peaceful location within the sought-after Surrey Hills National Landscape, just 2 miles south of the popular market town of Dorking, offering a combination of residential, agricultural, environmental, equestrian and commercial appeal.
The holding provides a versatile mix of income-generating assets and buildings with potential for alternative uses, subject to the necessary consents.
FARMSTEAD
Chadhurst Farm benefits from a well laid-out and versatile range of farm buildings, grouped around a practical and accessible yard. The buildings are clearly defined into three principal areas, providing a combination of commercial income, livestock/equestrian buildings and traditional structures with potential for alternative uses, subject to the necessary consents.
To the north of the farmstead is a cohesive range of buildings currently let to a tree surgery business, forming a well-established commercial yard. These comprise a mix of steel-framed and timber-clad buildings, together with areas of hardstanding and open-fronted storage, well suited to machinery, processing and general operational use. The layout provides a functional and self-contained unit, generating an income stream and offering potential for continued commercial or business use.
To the west of the central yard lies a range of modern agricultural/livestock buildings, currently utilised for equestrian purposes. These include larger steel-framed structures with internal divisions, as well as open-fronted buildings, providing flexible accommodation for stabling, storage and general agricultural use.
Amongst the agricultural buildings are two more traditional buildings, including an attractive barn of part masonry and timber-clad construction beneath a pitched tiled roof. These buildings offer considerable character and, given their scale and position within the farmstead, may present opportunities for alternative uses or conversion, subject to the necessary planning consents.
Overall, the buildings at Chadhurst Farm provide a strong blend of practicality, income potential and longer-term opportunity, supporting a variety of agricultural, equestrian and commercial enterprises.
FARMLAND
In total, the farmland in Lot 1 extends to approximately 195 acres, and comprises a mix of arable, pasture, woodland and amenity areas. The holding is arranged in a number of practical parcels, providing a well-balanced combination of productive agricultural land together with areas of environmental and amenity interest.
The land to the north of the farmstead comprises predominantly arable land and is currently entered into a Mid-Tier Countryside Stewardship Scheme. The land is managed on a rotational basis and, and there is no crop established for 2026. The scheme provides both environmental benefits and an income stream.
Holmwood field (1245), situated on the north-western boundary, is currently laid to pasture and utilised as a stick and ball polo pitch, contributing to the wider equestrian and amenity appeal of the holding.
Elsewhere, the land includes further areas of pasture suitable for grazing, together with belts of woodland which enhance privacy, biodiversity and the wider landscape setting.
The land has previously been part of a small driven bird shoot, which could potentially be recreated.
THE GRANARY
The Granary is a detached three-bedroom property, situated to the south-west of the main farmstead, enjoying a degree of separation whilst remaining closely connected to the wider holding.
The property is understood to have been converted from a traditional agricultural building and now provides well-appointed and characterful accommodation arranged over three floors. Internally, there are a number of attractive features, including exposed timber framing, vaulted elements and open-plan living spaces which create a light and spacious feel.
The property is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition.
