Independent reading

A Malcolm Lovibond mid-century house of 7,104 sq ft on 2.5 acres, with seven bedrooms, indoor pool, gym, stables and ancient woodland beside Walton Heath.

Heathwoods clears Aveno's gate on authorship, scale, privacy and architectural conviction. The £562/sq ft entry density is only a blended question, not an answer: the current instruction combines a large late-1970s house, later pool-and-gym works, garaging, stables, paddock and woodland. A stale prior £4.95m campaign sits £955,000 above today's £3.995m ask, but neither asking price is a transaction. Value the components only after the title, planning-and-completion chronology, signed measurement and plant-and-envelope condition agree.

Heathwoods, Dorking Road, Walton-on-the-Hill, Tadworth, Surrey
The Modern House's live instruction and current Zoopla distribution identify the same detached £3.995m, seven-bedroom Heathwoods at KT20 7TJ. UK Modern House independently joins the exact name, address, postcode, architect Malcolm Lovibond, client Eric Stewart, circa-1980 date and precise coordinates; the April 2026 EPC and the geotagged licensed photograph independently repeat the exact property address.

  2. The live instruction attributes the original house to architect Malcolm Lovibond, commissioned by Eric Stewart in 1976, with the architecture organised around extensive glazing and a double-height living volume.
  3. The current accommodation includes seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms; later works are attributed to an indoor swimming pool and gym, alongside garaging, stables, paddock and ancient woodland.
  4. UK Modern House independently identifies Heathwoods at this exact address as a Malcolm Lovibond design for Eric Stewart, completed circa 1980, and records its curved copper, flat and timber roof forms.
  5. The April 2026 exact-address EPC records 658 sq m, D63, gas heating and annual carbon emissions of 20 tonnes; it remains valid until April 2036.
  6. A real 2016 photograph of the exact Dorking Road entrance is available under CC BY-SA 2.0; it proves the entrance identity only and does not evidence the current house or interiors.

Investigate next

  1. Obtain the official freehold register, title plan and UPRN, then reconcile the 2.5-acre extent, drive, gates, boundaries, woodland, paddock, stables, access, covenants, drainage and service rights.
  2. Retrieve the original Lovibond design archive and the complete files for 17/01313/CLP, 17/02079/HHOLD and every later pool, gym, garage or alteration project, joining planning conditions to Building Control completion, structural records and warranties.
  3. Commission a signed RICS component measurement reconciling 7,104 sq ft with the EPC's 658 sq m / 7,083 sq ft, separating house, pool, gym, garages, stables and non-habitable areas.
  4. Obtain three years of energy, water, pool-plant, grounds, woodland, equestrian, security and insurance costs, plus specialist pool, services, glazing, copper-roof, timber, drainage and environmental surveys.
