A prime circa 2.24-acre Blackhills plot offering a substantial residence and outstanding redevelopment potential.<br/><br/> <b>Description</b><br/><br/>A rare and exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial residence set within approximately 2.24 acres of prime private grounds in the highly sought-after Blackhills area of Esher. Offering both an impressive existing home and significant scope for redevelopment.<br/><br/>Approached via a gated driveway, the property sits in an elevated and secluded position, surrounded by mature woodland and landscaped gardens, with far-reaching views across the Surrey countryside. The grounds are expansive and largely level, presenting a highly attractive and well-proportioned plot ideal for redevelopment (subject to the usual planning permissions).<br/><br/>The existing house extends to approximately 9,700 sq ft (including loft space, garage and outbuildings) and displays charming period character, including exposed timber beams, leaded light windows, feature fireplaces and a striking galleried staircase. The accommodation is extensive, comprising multiple reception rooms, a large kitchen/breakfast room, and up to six bedrooms, arranged across a versatile layout.<br/><br/>Externally, the property is complemented by a swimming pool, tennis court, detached garage and additional outbuildings, further enhancing both lifestyle appeal and long-term development potential. The generous frontage and depth of the plot provide scope for either a substantial new dwelling or potential subdivision, making this a particularly compelling opportunity in one of Esher’s most prestigious private locations.<br/><br/>Yaffingales offers the perfect combination of privacy, scale and location, with excellent access to Esher town centre, mainline rail services to London Waterloo, and a range of highly regarded schools.<br/><br/><b>Location</b><br/><br/>Blackhills is a prestigious and sought after private, gated road located 1.8 miles from the centre of Esher, with its appealing range of shops, bars, restaurants, Waitrose supermarket, Everyman cinema and the renowned Sandown Park racecourse which offers an extensive choice of recreational activities, namely horse racing, skiing, golf, go-karting, gym and squash. <br/><br/>The towns of Kingston upon Thames and Guildford are a short distance away providing a wide selection of high street names and department stores.<br/><br/>The beautiful National Trust Claremont Landscape Gardens are also found just 0.7 miles from the property. <br/><br/>Transport links into central London are provided at Esher and Claygate train stations with regular and direct services to Waterloo taking 23 and 29 minutes respectively.
