Old Avenue, St. George's Hill, Surrey KT13

Description

South-westerly views across the Surrey countryside and 6.81 acres of woodland distinguish this exceptional development opportunity on Old Avenue. At the heart of St George’s Hill, Cambourne House offers a private plateau setting on one of the coveted estate’s most sought-after roads, with scope to create a substantial country house.

Planning permission was previously granted for a single mansion of approximately 28,000 sq. Ft. Although the original permission has lapsed, a Certificate of Lawfulness of Existing Use or Development (clued) is reported to confirm that it was implemented. The planning documentation and the extent of the permitted development should be reviewed by prospective purchasers and their advisers.

There are no existing buildings on the site. Mature pine and oak trees provide extensive screening, with ferns beneath the canopy and rhododendrons filling the valley below. The elevated ground opens to far-reaching views, while the surrounding woodland creates a strong sense of seclusion.

The scale and topography of the land offer an opportunity to consider the house and its landscape together, making the most of the plateau, wooded slopes and south-westerly outlook. Few sites on the estate offer such an extensive natural setting at its centre.

Created by W. G. Tarrant in 1911, St George’s Hill extends across approximately 964 acres of private residential grounds, with winding roads, mature woodland and substantial houses. One of the UK's most exclusive enclaves, the estate is home to St George’s Hill Golf Club and a private lawn tennis club, with membership available by separate arrangement. Weybridge provides shops, restaurants and rail services to London Waterloo, while the surrounding road network connects to the M25, central London and Heathrow Airport.
