The Rectory, Charlwood

RECTORY COTTAGE
Two Storey detached derelict two-bedroom cottage (internal inspection no longer possible) for refurbishment or redevelopment either as separate dwelling or ancillary to the main house.

LAND
Approximately 2 acres including, gardens, former walled Kitchen Garden, light woodland, and a lake.

TENURE
Freehold with vacant possession.

LOCATION
Charlwood is a popular and well-connected Village in the Surrey commuter belt with access to the open spaces of the Green Belt and the Surrey Hills AONB and with the village befitting from a local shop café, primary school, two pubs,
historic church as well as a recreation ground with cricket pavilion and football pitch. Transport links are excellent with regular mainline rail services into London and to the South Coast from Gatwick and Horley. Charlwood is within easy reach of both A23/M23 and the M25 and Reigate with its full complement of retail and other amenities.

THE OPPORTUNITY
The site represents an interesting and rarely available opportunity to undertake a sensitive refurbishment and/or redevelopment of the existing buildings/footprint for continued
residential use as well as potentially other uses including those in Class C2 (Residential Institution).

The property is situated in a private setting with direct views over St Nicholas Church.

Neither property is subject to a statutory listing, but the site is situated in the Metropolitan Green Belt, a Conservation Area and any development would need to respect this and the sensitive setting of the Grade 1 listed St Nicholas Church that lies immediately adjacent. There have been no pre-application enquiries of the Local Planning Authority (Mole Valley District Council) as to the possible uses and opportunities, as well as
the planning constraints.

The property is in its original form and has not been extended since it was first built.

The first section of the access will be over part of the private drive (to be retained) to permit the continued and limited access and car parking for church users only, although the appropriate rights and reservations as well as purchaser’s
obligations towards its continued upkeep will be reserved in the contract.

METHOD OF SALE
The property is to be sold by private treaty on a bid date to be advised. Bids will be considered on the following basis:
1) A (mandatory) proposal that is
unconditional as to the grant of planning
permission
2) An additional proposal that is subject to
the grant of planning permission and /or
possibly a hybrid of 1 and 2 involving a
base sum and then further payments on
the grant of planning permission.

Given the vendor’s charitable status, consideration will also be given to the application of planning overage and or claw back.
