A PARCEL of land on a street corner of a residential area in Farnham went under the auctioneer’s hammer for £10,000.

The site adjacent to 9 Dollis Drive was among 148 lots being sold by regional land and property auctioneers Clive Emson.

Auctioneer Rob Marchant said: “We had a private bidder in the sales room keen to acquire the site, paying £10,000 freehold.

“This is a parcel of land located in a cul-de-sac position within walking distance of Farnham town centre and the mainline railway station.

“It is considered that the site may have future potential, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable. We are not privy to any plans the new owner may or may not have.”

Clive Emson’s next auction takes place at the same venue, the Ageas Bowl, near Southampton, on Friday, May 5, at 11am.

In a separate development, company chairman Clive Emson has been presented with a top civic honour, the Kent Invicta Award, for his outstanding achievements and philanthropy across the county. He was also given a £5,000 cheque for Kent-based charities of his choice.
