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.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
