Residential development for sale – Bridge House Farm Development, Laneshawbridge, BB8

An exciting redevelopment opportunity comprising a range of modern farm buildings and a substantial traditional stone barn, with planning permission for conversion to form a total of four separate dwellings.

Convenient position on the edge of Laneshawbridge just 2.5 miles from the centre of Colne.

Location

The property enjoys a prominent roadside position to the south of Keighley Road (A6068) on the edge of the small village of Laneshawbridge. The village offers limited amenities with a highly regarded primary school and two inns, the Emmott Arms and The Alma Inn. The larger town of Colne is just 2.5 miles to the west offering a more comprehensive range of services including shops, supermarkets and leisure facilities together with good access links by rail and road, with the M65 motorway providing excellent connectivity.

Description

The property comprises the farm yard and buildings at Bridge House Farm, which include a substantial semi-detached traditional stone barn fronting Keighley Road, having full planning permission for conversion to create two dwellings with private parking.

Adjacent to the stone barn and set back slightly from Keighley Road are two large modern farm buildings, each benefitting from consent under permitted development for change of use to create separate residential dwellings with provision for private parking.

The buildings are accessed directly from Keighley Road via a shared entrance and stand in a generous plot incorporating an old mill pond with a pleasant southerly aspect and outlook over open countryside.
