Description
This listed barn requires complete refurbishment and is currently in a non-habitable condition. The building offers an opportunity for redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents. Internally, the structure includes a ground floor area with an upper floor above, allowing flexibility for future layout design. An open garage-style area to the side, similar to a carport, forms part of the existing structure. The overall form and character indicate potential for conversion, depending on planning approval. Previous planning permission relating to conversion was granted in 2018, although interested parties should make their own enquiries regarding its status and any future applications.

The property is offered as seen, and interested parties should rely on their own investigations regarding condition, services, and development potential.

A number of pubs and informal eateries can also be found nearby.
