About this property



A rare opportunity to create an exceptional family home in one of Cranleigh’s most sought-after semi-rural settings. A substantial residential building plot with planning permission granted for a beautifully designed detached two-storey home.

THE PROPERTY
An exceptional and increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a residential building plot in a highly regarded semi-rural position on Dunsfold Road, Cranleigh. Wisteria presents the opportunity to create a substantial and beautifully designed detached family home, with planning permission already granted for a thoughtfully conceived two-storey dwelling. Combining traditional architectural detailing with contemporary family living, the approved design provides an exciting foundation from which to create a truly individual home.

Adding considerable appeal to the property is the existing high-quality Manor Park Lodge, together with a substantial brick-built outbuilding. Both provide exceptionally well-appointed accommodation and offer an enviable solution for those wishing to live comfortably on site whilst progressing their future build, subject to the relevant permissions.

This is an opportunity that offers far more than a traditional building plot
it provides the foundations for a lifestyle, with the flexibility to enjoy the property immediately whilst creating a bespoke home for the future.

THE APPROVED HOUSE
Planning permission has been granted for an impressive detached two-storey dwelling, designed with a handsome and timeless appearance sympathetic to its countryside surroundings. The approved elevations feature a classic and well-balanced frontage, with a welcoming central entrance and generous windows designed to introduce plenty of natural light. Architectural highlights include:

Traditional plain tiled roof creating a timeless profile
Attractive combination of facing brickwork and tile hanging
Bespoke oak entrance frame and front door
White uPVC windows and patio doors
Generous proportions arranged around an attractive wider footprint
A distinctive winged design providing excellent potential for flexible family accommodation

The approved scheme provides an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to create a substantial home designed around their own lifestyle, preferences and requirements, subject to the relevant planning conditions.

EXISTING LUXURY LODGE
Currently positioned on the site is an impressive Manor Park Lodge White House, approximately 65ft in length by 22ft in width. Providing three bedrooms and two modern bathrooms, the lodge offers exceptionally comfortable accommodation and is currently estimated to have a value of approximately £230,000.

Finished to a particularly high specification, the accommodation includes luxurious marble finishes, bespoke marble worktops and feature islands, marble windowsills, underfloor heating throughout and air conditioning. The well-appointed kitchen and bathrooms combine contemporary style with practicality, creating a comfortable and sophisticated living environment.

Importantly, full planning permission is in place for the lodge for permanent use.

BRICK BUILT OUTBUILDING
Further accommodation is provided by a substantial brick-built outbuilding, independently equipped with its own kitchen and shower room. The building benefits from underfloor heating and air conditioning and provides a highly versatile space that could be utilised for guests, home working, hobbies, leisure or additional ancillary accommodation, subject to any necessary consents. A newly installed hot tub provides an additional touch of luxury and creates an ideal space in which to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached via an attractive resin driveway, providing a smart and contemporary finish and generous parking. The site is secured by electric gates and benefits from an extensive 14-camera CCTV system. Further outside features include a separate garden shed, carport and well-maintained external areas.

The combination of the existing accommodation, ancillary building, security and high-quality external finishes makes Wisteria a particularly unusual proposition for anyone looking for a self-build opportunity with immediate lifestyle benefits

THE LOCATION
Wisteria enjoys a desirable semi-rural position on Dunsfold Road, surrounded by the beautiful Surrey countryside while remaining conveniently positioned for Cranleigh and the neighbouring village of Alfold. The immediate setting is characterised by individual homes, open fields and lightly wooded landscapes, creating a wonderful sense of space, privacy and rural tranquillity. Cranleigh is one of Surrey’s most sought-after villages, renowned for its strong community, excellent amenities and attractive countryside setting. The village provides a comprehensive range of shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday facilities, together with a leisure centre, medical facilities and highly regarded schools, including Cranleigh School.

The village green and High Street host a variety of community events throughout the year and contribute to Cranleigh’s enduring appeal. For outdoor enthusiasts, the surrounding countryside is a particular attraction, with numerous footpaths, bridleways and quiet country lanes providing excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and riding. The Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is also readily accessible.

Road links are convenient, with the A281 and A24 providing access towards Guildford, Horsham and the wider road network. Mainline railway services are available from Guildford and Horsham, providing regular connections towards London, while Gatwick Airport is also within convenient driving distance.

The result is an enviable combination of peaceful rural living and excellent accessibility.

PLANNING - Reference: WA/2025/00983
Planning permission has been granted for the development of the site as a self-build dwelling within the definition of self-build and custom-build housing under the Self Build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015, as amended by the Housing and Planning Act 2016. The permission includes conditions relating to the first occupation of the dwelling, including the requirement that the first occupier has a primary input into the design and layout and intends to live in the property for a minimum period of three years. Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries with the relevant Local Planning Authority and professional advisers regarding the planning permission, conditions and any requirements applicable to their proposed development.

AN EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITY
Building plots with planning permission in this highly desirable part of Surrey are increasingly difficult to find. Wisteria offers something particularly special: an approved scheme for a substantial detached home, combined with high-quality existing accommodation that can be enjoyed immediately. For the self-builder, this is the opportunity to create a home designed around a personal vision. For those looking for flexibility, the existing lodge and outbuilding provide comfortable accommodation while the future home takes shape. With its beautiful semi-rural surroundings, excellent access to Cranleigh and the wider Surrey area, and significant existing accommodation, Wisteria represents an exciting opportunity to create a truly exceptional Surrey home.

Full plans and supporting documentation should be available for inspection, and prospective purchasers are encouraged to rely on their own enquiries with the relevant authorities and professionals. Plots with consent in this part of Surrey are increasingly hard to find
especially those offering a design that already presents so well from the outset.

With the core scheme approved, a purchaser can focus on the enjoyable part: planning the build, refining the specification, and creating a home tailored to their preferences (subject to any planning conditions and approvals, where required).
