This sizeable woodland parcel in Honister Heights, Purley, offers a rare green asset less than 13 miles from Central London. Nestled just off a residential road between Riddlesdown and Sanderstead, the plot is suited to recreational use, private enjoyment or long-term landholding in an affluent borough where local property values sit well above the national average.
The site benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband nearby, low local crime and no identified flood risk. It is close to strong transport links and a number of well-regarded state schools, making it attractive for local owners seeking a natural retreat or investors targeting scarce urban-adjacent woodland.
Buyers should note key practical considerations: tenure is unknown and will require verification, and the land is undeveloped with no indicated utilities or buildings. Potential purchasers must carry out due diligence on access rights, planning permissions and any management obligations associated with woodland ownership. These factors affect short-term usability but also mean the plot could suit buyers prepared to plan improvements or hold for future value.
Overall, this is an uncommon opportunity to acquire a large, private woodland parcel within a very affluent area of Croydon. It will suit someone seeking privacy and green space close to London, or an investor prepared to manage title, access and planning matters before implementing any changes.
