Description

Barn Conversion Opportunity in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – Approx. 1 Acre
A rare opportunity to create a stunning countryside home set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering exceptional surroundings and protected landscapes.
This former stone barn benefits from approved planning permission (Ref: PA21/09751 – amended design) for the conversion and extension into a one-bedroom residence, thoughtfully designed to combine character features with modern living. Please note that the planning permission is currently for holiday use only.
Set within approximately one acre of land, the property enjoys gardens surrounding the barn along with a substantial field to the side and rear — ideal for those seeking space, privacy, and uninterrupted rural views. The land offers excellent potential for landscaping, a kitchen garden, or smallholding use.
A Shepherd’s Hut is currently in situ and has permission to remain on site until the build is complete, providing convenient temporary accommodation during construction.
An exceptional lifestyle opportunity to develop a bespoke home in a truly special rural location.
