Boxers Wood is located in a scenic enclave of Coulsdon, within the Borough of Reigate and Banstead, Surrey. Set on the edge of Greater London, it lies perched atop the North Downs – a position that grants breathtaking vistas of the London skyline beyond the hill. On a clear day, you can pick out iconic city landmarks like The Shard and
Canary Wharf shimmering on the horizon

The surrounding area is characterized by lush greenery and protected open spaces, including nearby Farthing Downs and Happy Valley, known
for their wildlife-rich chalk grasslands and panoramic views.

Despite the rural ambiance and Green Belt designation of the area (which helps preserve its unspoilt character),the conveniences of city life
are close at hand – Coulsdon town centre and Coulsdon South railway station are just a short drive away, providing direct links into London (approximately 17 miles to Charing Cross)

In essence, this location offers peace and privacy without isolation: a rare harmony of countryside tranquility and urban connectivity.

Land Description & Title Details

The land itself is predominantly woodland, blanketed with mature trees and foliage that lend natural seclusion and a haven for wildlife. The terrain features gentle slopes in parts, consistent with the North Downs landscape, and offers a mix of level clearings and wooded dells that spark the imagination for various uses. An existing access way from Park Lane leads into the plot, ensuring you have a defined entrance to the property

The boundaries, as per the Land Registry plan, follow natural demarcations and fencing on the ground – giving you full confidence in the extent of what is being purchased. (The Title Plan and legal pack detail all rights and covenants, which are available for bidders to inspect in advance.)

Notably, the land sits within a broader area designated as a Site of Nature Conservation Importance underscoring its environmental value. This designation and its
Greenbelt status mean the woodland has remained undeveloped and brimming with natural character. For the investor, this is reassurance of the land’s untouched charm – a canvas of nature that has been preserved over time.

You might choose to maintain it as a private nature reserve, capitalize on potential eco-tourism or leisure uses (with due diligence and consents), or simply hold it as a tangible asset that is increasingly scarce so close to London.

Potential & Opportunities

It's unique positioning – at the cusp of London’s growth boundary – makes it a compelling strategic hold. Crucially, owning Boxers Wood means total control over its destiny.

Whether you hold it as a legacy investment, enhance it for recreational use, or pursue development (with due diligence and consents), you will be stewarding a truly distinctive piece of land. Its character – from the ancient trees and wildlife to the stunning sunsets over London’s distant skyline – provides a priceless backdrop that no new plot could easily replicate. This is a chance to let your imagination roam free on blank canvas land, all while your capital is secured by the tangible asset beneath your feet.
