Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| Woodcote House Estate Co. Limited is a private limited company, incorporated and domiciled in England. The address of its registered office is Old Printers Yard, 156 South Street, Dorking, Surrey, RH4 2HF.

| The company's principal activity during the year was property investment. The principal activities of its active subsidiaries were property development and jobbing building.

| The company is the parent undertaking of a small group and as such is not required by the Companies Act 2006 to prepare group accounts. These financial statements therefore present information about the company as an individual undertaking and not about its group.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES

| Basis of preparing the financial statements

| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

| Turnover

| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

| The turnover represents rental income receivable for the year together with premiums received on granting extended leases on freehold reversions.

| Investment property

| Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss.

| Taxation

| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

| Deferred tax

| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

3. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

| The average number of employees during the year was 2 (2023 - 2 ) .
